If you're confused about what game designers do, "The Door Problem" by Liz England is a short article worth reading. It's about the theory and crafting of mechanics and rulesets. The war for the next generation has begun.Game Design is a subset of Game Development that concerns itself with WHY games are made the way they are. Square Enix has fired the first shot, dear readers. ![]() This is now Nintendo’s race to prove the Wii U is not just capable, but the future – and they must prove it within the next two years. No doubt Microsoft and Sony’s next systems will be able to run this, and the third parties will move with them. ![]() The “next generation” seemed sort of misty until this very demo. Of course, the next Xbox and PlayStation will be able to do so just fine. Not to mention there’s the little snag that this will probably be running on next-gen consoles in two years, and I find it very unlikely any of the current systems (including the Wii U) can handle it. So what does this mean for gaming, outside of the fact that Square Enix has just stumbled into a goldmine and now has the ability to run Epic’s graphics market into the ground if they so feel inclined? It’s true that graphics don’t make the game – but they’re what grabs your attention at first glance, and they’re art in its own right. Okay, now let’s get our jaws off of the floor and reattach them – there, that’s better. If you are a gamer, and you want to see the future of video game graphics, then watching this video is a necessity. It’s easily the most advanced demonstration of video game graphics ever – and it’s all in real-time (no CG trickery here). Why does this matter, you ask? Well, to be honest – Luminous puts everything we’ve seen of Unreal 4 to utter shame. As a graphical engine, Luminous can be used on, well, anything – and its use can be sold, like any other engine. Although a typical Final Fantasy scenario was used for the demo (titled “Agni’s Philosophy”), this is no game announcement. At today’s E3 event, Square Enix debuted the Luminous Engine, a graphics engine designed for the next generation. ![]() 9/2/2023 0 Comments Story on chinese queue![]() ![]() And decisions are fine until they are not. “The lack of transparency is already a well known issue for the Chinese bureaucracy. Senior Chinese officials have disappeared from public view in the past only to turn up months later in announcements they’ve been under secret disciplinary investigation.īut the circumstances that have played out in recent weeks surrounding Qin – widely seen as a trusted aide of Xi and one of China’s most recognizable officials as the face of its foreign policy and a former ambassador to the US – has brought those features of China’s political system into the global spotlight. Unanswered questions about official decision-making are standard in China, where the political system is notoriously opaque and has only become more so under Chinese leader Xi Jinping. ![]() ![]() Qin’s whereabouts, the reason for his removal, and his ultimate fate as a member of China’s Communist Party all remain unknown. The latest twist in the saga – the complete erasure of Qin’s swift, six-month tenure as foreign minister and his replacement by Wang, who held that post for roughly a decade before a promotion late last year – only serves to deepen the mystery. The shock ouster, approved by a top body within China’s rubber-stamp legislature, had followed weeks of questions and speculation about Qin’s fate after he disappeared from public view in late June, without a clear explanation. Five weeks ago, the world watched as China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang met US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Beijing for high stakes talks between the two powers.īut anyone looking for reference to that important event on the website of China’s Foreign Ministry will be disappointed, as that meeting – and all of Qin’s activities as foreign minister – has been erased from the record following a head-spinning leadership shake-up Tuesday that saw Qin abruptly replaced by his predecessor Wang Yi. ![]() ![]() The story was later elaborated in the 11th century by adding that Christ gave her a portrait of himself on a cloth, with which she later cured Tiberius. The closest written reference is the miracle of Jesus healing the bleeding woman by touching the hem of Jesus' garment her name is later identified as Veronica by the apocryphal " Acts of Pilate". There is no reference to the story of Veronica and her veil in the canonical Gospels. Christ carrying the cross, attributed to Hieronymus Bosch in the lower-left corner: Veronica with the veil Evolution of the story 19th-century group of Saint Veronica offering Jesus the veil, from a series of Stations of the Cross. In the words of art historian Neil Macgregor, "From on, wherever the Roman Church went, the Veronica would go with it." The act of Saint Veronica wiping the face of Jesus with her veil is celebrated in the sixth Station of the Cross in many Anglican, Catholic, and Western Orthodox churches. The first written evidence of the story is from the Middle Ages, and during the 14th century, the veil became a central icon in the Western Church. ![]() The veil has been said to quench thirst, cure blindness, and even raise the dead. Veronica later traveled to Rome to present the cloth to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. The story of the image's origin is related to the sixth Station of the Cross, wherein Saint Veronica, encountering Jesus along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, wipes the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. Various existing images have been claimed to be the original relic, as well as early copies of it representations of it are also known as vernicles. The Veil of Veronica, or Sudarium ( Latin for sweat-cloth), also known as the Vernicle and often called simply the Veronica, is a Christian relic consisting of a piece of cloth said to bear an image of the Holy Face of Jesus produced by other than human means (an acheiropoieton, "made without hand"). Veronica holding her veil, Hans Memling, c.

The aim of this study was to examine whether demographic disparities in US physician burnout are explained by differences in the MBI-HSS’s functioning across physician age, gender, and specialty groups. ![]() However, no studies, to our knowledge, have evaluated the demographic measurement equivalence of the MBI-HSS in US physicians. Establishing the measurement equivalence of an instrument is a key aspect of construct validity and, consequently, is required for the unbiased comparison of physician burnout across demographic groups. For example, female physicians may have higher observed burnout scores than male physicians because they are more willing than male physicians to report their symptoms, despite both groups having the same latent burnout levels. However, when a measure lacks equivalence across respondents who differ demographically, subscale score differences may actually reflect systematic differences in the way the demographic groups interpret items or in their willingness to endorse items, as opposed to true differences in the groups’ latent (unobserved) burnout symptom levels. Ī measure is equivalent when it functions the same way across groups of respondents who might differ in gender, age, or other personal characteristics that may influence their responses to a self-reported measure. However, it is unclear whether the observed disparities are explained by differences in the MBI-HSS’s functioning, or what is known as a lack of measurement equivalence, across demographic groups. In response, the National Academy of Medicine has recommended that healthcare organizations monitor and intervene on demographic disparities within their institutions. Physicians who are younger, female, and practicing in front-line specialties (e.g., emergency medicine, family medicine, and general internal medicine) have generally reported higher rates of burnout compared to their older, male colleagues practicing in non-front-line specialties. Disparities in US physician burnout rates across age, gender, and specialty groups as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS) are well documented. ![]() 9/2/2023 0 Comments Discord canary![]() ![]() ![]() Therefore as a testbed release, only serious testers, developers, and enthusiasts should consider trying out or installing a Discord Canary build. If you’re ready to try it, you should expect the worst cos it may crash or break, with features stilled or failing to work or features working unexpectedly. While Discord Canary is very safe to use, it isn’t stable. This means that the features, fixes, and other additions are not yet ready for the wider community. ![]() These features may be returned after further refinement, or they may also be scrapped entirely, depending on the development team’s wider plan for Discord.ĭiscord Canary is known as a very early test build. If these features or fixes are unfinished or aren’t stable, the development team will have to remove them from Discord before they release the PTB or Stable releases. This is the release that you will see and use when you download the desktop app or when you visit the Discord website. If the features or the bug fixes in Discord Canary are safe, they’ll be added to the Discord Public Test Build (PTB) for further beta testing before the Discord will be released to the wider Discord community in the Discord Stable release. A canary release isn’t a stable release, so bugs, crashes and other issues are expected. In technology terms, a “canary” is an alpha build or release of software, that is available for other developers, quality testers, and keen users to try out. While miners are no longer relying on canaries, software developers still rely on them. ![]() 9/2/2023 0 Comments Hp notebook 15![]() If you are an office employee or a college student who has to carry a laptop every day, this laptop will save you from some pain in the back.
