![]() WSL 2 is a major overhaul of the underlying architecture and uses virtualization technology and a Linux kernel to enable new features. WSL 2 will work with VMware 15.5.5+ and although VirtualBox 6+ states that there is WSL support, there are still significant challenges that make it unsupported. For builds lower than 14393, WSL is not supported at all.įor more info on the latest WSL 2 updates, see the Windows Command Line blog, including Systemd support is now available in WSL and WSL September 2023 update for more info on IPv6 support. You may need to update to the latest Windows version. (Or enter the ver command in Windows Command Prompt).

Runs with current versions of VMware and VirtualBoxĪs you can tell from the comparison table above, the WSL 2 architecture outperforms WSL 1 in several ways, with the exception of performance across OS file systems, which can be addressed by storing your project files on the same operating system as the tools you are running to work on the project. Small resource foot print compared to traditional Virtual Machines If your distribution is currently running WSL 1 and you want to update to WSL 2, see update from WSL 1 to WSL 2. WSL2 runs Linux distributions as isolated containers inside the managed VM. ![]() WSL 2 is the current default version when installing a Linux distribution and uses the latest and greatest in virtualization technology to run a Linux kernel inside of a lightweight utility virtual machine (VM). The primary differences between WSL 1 and WSL 2 are the use of an actual Linux kernel inside a managed VM, support for full system call compatibility, and performance across the Linux and Windows operating systems. This guide will compare WSL 1 and WSL 2, including exceptions for using WSL 1 rather than WSL 2. Learn more about different WSL versions, including why WSL 2 is now the default and the specific scenarios or exceptions that may warrant switching your installed Linux distribution to the earlier WSL 1 architecture.

Junkworld TD is available now in the Apple Arcade section of the App Store. There are nine heroes to defeat strange and unexpected enemies. There’s everything from hydraulic drills to mechanical bulls. The game boasts 16 towers with special skills. One of the heroes is outfitted in garbage can armor, for instance. “Deploy your strategy by using towers, special units and gadgets, as you train amazing crazy-looking heroes.”Įxpect serious action, but for not much else to be serious. Junkworld TD players “command the resourceful Scavenger clan as they survive the mayhem of epic post-apocalyptic battles,” says the developer, Ironhide Irl. Visit Junkworld for for serious tower-defense action, Image: Ironhide S.A./Apple Arcade It’s distinctly different from RPGs in that the focus is on fending off waves of enemies, not going out looking for a fight. This is a tower-defense game (obviously), a very popular genre. You can't upgrade or place towers, but you are able to place mines or move defensive units around the map.Lead the Scavenger clan to victory in Junkworld TD The shorter levels seems to mean there's a lot MORE levels, so the game does move faster than Kingdom Rush which makes it less frustrating when you lose, no need to replay a 15min long level because you lost on the last wave.Īnd having 4 active "Tactics" abilities/units does force you to stay on your toes. I know I'm sounding really negative about the game, but I am actually enjoying it. With only 3 waves in Junkworld and only preparing them between waves, you just have to place them down and hope you're prepared (uh oh, they threw flying enemies at me and I didn't place any anti-air towers.). ![]() The Kingdom Rush games have never been great at telegraphing what enemy units it will throw at you, but since most levels were like 5, 7, 10+ waves long, it slowly built up the waves so you can prepare the towers and strategize while you play. I think this makes the waves much more boring since you only focus on placing units or bombs on a cooldown instead of placing more towers and upgrading them mid-wave. ![]() You also can't place towers during waves, only the "Tactic" units (stuff like dropping explosive barrels, or placing friendly units down, like in Kingdom Rush games). The upgrade currency is pretty limited, but lets you upgrade the tower (instead of the regular currency like it used to). And instead of gaining currency to buy towers by defeating enemies during waves, you just get a lump sum at the end of the wave along with a few "upgrade" currency. Unfortunately the game doesn't show you a cooldown so you just have to wait for the flashing arrows to appear to let you know you can tap it to trigger the special.Ī big change from Kingdom Rush is that every level seems to only be 3 waves (at least so far, I'm about a dozen levels in I think). This can be an AOE effect, faster damage, etc. ![]() And the placement freedom has a usability issue where you can place towers REALLY close together, so it can be hard to tap them when their special move is ready.Įach tower has a "Special" it can perform when you tap it. You still end up sticking towers in the same spots (corners, around curves, places where you can make choke points, etc.). On one hand this might make you feel like you have more freedom with tower placement, but not really. ![]() Instead of specific spots to put towers, the game lets you put them down manually yourself. I'm a huge Kingdom Rush fan, it's probably my favorite franchise on mobile, and Junkworld is definitely an offshoot of it, but different in a lot of way and sadly mostly for the worse. and not sure how I'm feeling about it yet. I just started playing Junkworld (renewed my Apple Arcade just for it). The solution to the ills of the world is found in understanding the doctrines and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and the application of those principles in the lives of every human being. We see discord and enmity between leaders and nations, conflicts between communities, and contention within families. Throughout the earth, the fabric of nations and the collective world appears to be deteriorating. The clarion call of the prophets is as clear today as it ever was in the past, and the testimony of the prophets will continue to the very moment that the Lord Jesus Christ returns to reign in glory. The Lord loves them, and as members of the Church, we honor them and look to them as servants of the living God. They are indeed prophets, seers, and revelators. They have been called of God by revelation. My message and testimony to you is that prophets and apostles stand at the head of this work today as it goes forth to all the world. In turn, those feelings will draw us nearer to Them as we feel Their presence in our lives and desire with all our hearts to know Their will and to become like Them. In this conference, there will be communicated to us-through the power of the Holy Ghost-feelings that will increase our faith in the Father and the Son and our love for the principles of the restored gospel. We honor His name and that of His Only Begotten Son, the Savior of the world, even Jesus Christ. We are united in our love for God our Eternal Father. Although you may be near or far away, you are so vital to the work of the Lord and the establishment of the Church where you live. As I look out over this vast congregation, in my mind’s eye I see not only those present in the Conference Center, but those of you who are participating in this conference in meetinghouses and homes throughout the world. ![]() ![]() They surrounded the sample chamber with a system of Geiger counters that were calibrated to detect and eliminate the background radiation that exists throughout the environment. Fortunately, Libby’s group developed an alternative. This method worked, but it was slow and costly. Using this sample and an ordinary Geiger counter, Libby and Anderson established the existence of naturally occurring carbon-14, matching the concentration predicted by Korff. Libby reached out to Aristid von Grosse (1905–1985) of the Houdry Process Corporation who was able to provide a methane sample that had been enriched in carbon-14 and which could be detected by existing tools. In order to prove his concept of radiocarbon dating, Libby needed to confirm the existence of natural carbon-14, a major challenge given the tools then available.Īt the time, no radiation-detecting instrument (such as a Geiger counter) was sensitive enough to detect the small amount of carbon-14 that Libby’s experiments required. But no one had yet detected carbon-14 in nature- at this point, Korff and Libby’s predictions about radiocarbon were entirely theoretical. Further research by Libby and others established its half-life as 5,568 years (later revised to 5,730 ± 40 years), providing another essential factor in Libby’s concept. Their results predicted the distribution of carbon-14 across features of the carbon cycle and gave Libby encouragement that radiocarbon dating would be successful.Ĭarbon-14 was first discovered in 1940 by Martin Kamen (1913–2002) and Samuel Ruben (1913–1943), who created it artificially using a cyclotron accelerator at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley. Libby and graduate student Ernest Anderson (1920–2013) calculated the mixing of carbon across these different reservoirs, particularly in the oceans, which constitute the largest reservoir. However, the rates of movement of carbon throughout the cycle were not then known. In a system where carbon-14 is readily exchanged throughout the cycle, the ratio of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes should be the same in a living organism as in the atmosphere. Libby’s next task was to study the movement of carbon through the carbon cycle. Based on Korff’s estimation that just two neutrons were produced per second per square centimeter of earth’s surface, each forming a carbon-14 atom, Libby calculated a ratio of just one carbon-14 atom per every 10 12 carbon atoms on earth. (Fortunately for him, this was later proven to be generally true.)įor the second factor, it would be necessary to estimate the overall amount carbon-14 and compare this against all other isotopes of carbon. He reasoned that a state of equilibrium must exist wherein the rate of carbon-14 production was equal to its rate of decay, dating back millennia. In the absence of any historical data concerning the intensity of cosmic radiation, Libby simply assumed that it had been constant. Radiocarbon dating would be most successful if two important factors were true: that the concentration of carbon-14 in the atmosphere had been constant for thousands of years, and that carbon-14 moved readily through the atmosphere, biosphere, oceans and other reservoirs-in a process known as the carbon cycle. The concept of radiocarbon dating focused on measuring the carbon content of discreet organic objects, but in order to prove the idea Libby would have to understand the earth’s carbon system. ![]() ![]() When director Joss Whedon pulled off the first “The Avengers,” he only had five characters to mix together. ![]() This is a problem of Marvel’s own creation, of course, since it has always been so focused on the crazy extended family trope. The film suffers from its massive character count. was such a good fit and indeed has come to embody a lot of what the MCU stands for today.) The style is now so recognizable that 20th Century FOX’s superhero hit “Deadpool” spent much of its nearly two hours lampooning MCU clichés. Even in the direst of situations, Marvel characters never lose their sense of snarky good humor - as the original “Iron Man” and the first crossover “The Avengers” prove. How does one handle a film with 22 lead characters?įrom the outset, Marvel’s movie arm, known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the MCU), defined itself as a family-friendly company. This is how a psychedelic comedy trip like “Guardians of the Galaxy” could be billed as a sequel to “Iron Man 3” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” It was a strategy that seemed good for Hollywood and good for fans, but it couldn’t last. Without “The Avengers,” there would be no “Wonder Woman.”įor better or for worse (and “Justice League” was definitely for worse), “Infinity War” showed sequel-loving Hollywood how to take new material and still brand it a sequel, with the understanding that the characters would all eventually meet up together in a massive crossover event. Warner Brothers also probably would not have embarked on its disastrous “Justice League” franchise, a series of films that managed to suck all the joy out of its cape-wearing protagonists. If “The Avengers” was not a hit, it’s likely the “Star Wars” resurrection would have been a single trilogy, without the stand-alone films. With “Infinity War,” the franchise takes things to a whole new level. When it comes to the “crossover” films upon which the entire enterprise hangs, the studio has always played it pretty straight.

What constitutes the “basic” principles of design is certainly up for debate. These design “principles” or elements are important aspects of good design and should be considered alongside the other basic principles to create the best user experiences. Different shapes can evoke different feelings, i.e circles are organic and fluid, while squares are more rigid and formal, and triangles give a sense of energy or movement. Shape is also a major part of any design, both in terms of specific shapes used as elements within the design, and the overall shape of the design itself. But the principle carries over into design. It’s most often heard referred to in cinematography or photography, with how the main focus of an image is placed within the overall image. Grid and alignment are closely related to balance and refer to the way elements are arranged in relation to an invisible grid on the page.įraming refers to how the primary subject of a design is placed in relation to other elements on the page. Some of those principles are closely related to the principles mentioned above. ![]() Gestalt Principles include similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure/ground, and symmetry & order (also called prägnanz). Color psychology and theory heavily influences some of the other principles mentioned earlier. The use of color in design is one of the most psychologically important parts of a design and has a huge influence on user experience. Good typographic design is heavily influenced by all of the other design principles mentioned earlier in this article. That includes the fonts used, their spacing, size, and weight, and the way different text elements relate to each other. Typography refers to the way text is arranged in a design. Some definitely fit the definition of “principles” while others are more like elements of design. ![]() These include typography, color, Gestalt Principles, grid and alignment, framing, and shape. Other principles of design are also touched upon in various articles on the subject. Insufficient contrast can make text content in particular very difficult to read, especially for people with visual impairments. Contrast is also a very important aspect of creating accessible designs. These differences make various elements stand out. While that sounds like a completely arbitrary term, what the client generally means is that the design needs more contrast.Ĭontrast refers to how different elements are in a design, particularly adjacent elements. One of the most common complaints designers have about client feedback often revolves around clients who say a design needs to “pop” more. That said, the following twelve principles of visual design are those mentioned most often in articles and books on the subject. Basic Visual Design PrinciplesĪs already mentioned, there is no real consensus in the design community about what the main principles of design actually are. The main design principles are explained and illustrated below. In addition, there are another dozen or so “secondary” design principles that are sometimes included as basics (for example, the Gestalt Principles, typography, color, and framing). In reality, there are roughly a dozen basic principles of design that beginning and expert designers alike should keep in mind when working on their projects. Even the articles that agree on the number don’t necessarily agree on which ones should be included in that number. Search for “principles of design” and Google will return results for articles that include from five to more than a dozen individual visual design principles. And once that’s been figured out, which of these supposed design fundamentals should be included? One of the most difficult parts of talking about the principles of design is figuring out just how many principles there actually are (are there five? Seven? 10?). ![]() Listen to the audio version of this article |
