@cedrickrier Oh, MICROseconds -- I missed that!

Interesting. I'd think the dictionary would need to create all of the tuples (or some equivalent key-value pairs) anyway. Maybe the behind-the-scenes data structure storing a pair in a dictionary is more efficient than a tuple, because it knows it contains exactly two items.

@cedrickrier So in the first one you're feeding update a generator, but in the second one you're feeding it another dictionary? If so, it makes sense that the second one takes much longer, as you're building the entire dictionary twice.

@lowqualityfacts If you're curious about the actual answer, the internet is fairly useless.

Guess #1: "64 to 80":

Guess #2: "4 cups or 20 ounces", plus a homemade recipe that uses "50 almonds in each cup":

Guess #3: "one half-gallon carton of almond milk contains anywhere from 30 to a whopping 225 almonds ... So 8 almonds are required for 1 pound of almond milk, or 8 gallons."

Odds that last answer is AI-generated?

@raptor85 I don't know about the loader; webdev is not my area of expertise.

We could add another layer of title screen, but I've seen other games where music is playing on the first WebGL screen, so there must be a way to do it.

@raptor85 Do you know what the workaround is?

@LouisIngenthron Hmm. It looks like we have that set, too.

@LouisIngenthron ... and plenty of other games don't require such a pause. To grab one at random:

@LouisIngenthron It's not just itch, because this happens in a local web build, too.

@JensHannemann Yes, the game engine. It's probably going to be my most-commonly-run app (other than a web browser) over the next year. Your guess on the bug reporter sounds reasonable. I don't know why it keeps crashing.

I have no idea how to fix the power and wifi bugs, which are nondeterministic.

On MacOS, this stuff just worked out of the box.

@mrcompletely My complaint is that I'm not doing anything exotic. I would expect the default configuration to work properly for core features like recognizing my not-home-assembled hardware.
