@flq Yeah, I was just looking in the API for Dictionary and wondering why, if there was an Add method, there was no Get method. I had forgotten about square bracket access.

@dazfuller That's the thing -- C#'s Dictionary class doesn't seem to have a Get method, so you have to do this out business.

Java:

HashMap<Integer, String> m = new HashMap<>();
m.put(1, "one");

C#:

Dictionary<int, string> d = new Dictionary<int, string>();
d.Add(1, "one");

Okay, fine so far...

Java:

String s = m.get(1);

C#:

String s;
m.TryGetValue(1, out s);

I think a lot of people imagine centaurs being way shorter than they would be.

This is the worst crime against the Smurf community since that time the UN bombed their village.

If that video game is frustrating you, you can turn down the difficulty. It's okay. You'll have more fun, which is the whole point.

@catmachine I've read several sci fi stories where the extra half hour in the Martian day is off-the-clock party time.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

I spent a decade of my life creating game assets, the result is a lot of game assets. They're free, no ads, no tracking, no registration, no subscription, no permission needed, no need for attribution and suited for any use including commercial.

@olivvybee And yet ...

Don't ask us what we spent on the deluxe box for Wingspan. No components -- just the box.

@andykorth It feels like if something has a special symbol it should also have a name.

In the Unity Assets window, what does a blue box with one gray side and tape across the top mean? I can't find an explanation via search (inside or outside of Unity's documentation) or asking ChatGPT.
