Using razer Core X with amd 5700 XT on Mac Hi I'm on the verge of getting an eGPU Razer Core X and an AMD 5700 XT on macbook pro 15" 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 32 G RAM for archviz but I need to make sure it's compatible with Blender
Which Mac is suitable for Blender 2.8? I am considering purchasing a Mac for my godson who will be using it to run Blender 2.8.  I know very little about this program.  All I can find are requirements for a Mac that will run earlier versions of Blender.  Would someone please recommend a list of requirements for a Mac (or a link to a list of requirements) that I could use to find a model that can run 2.8?  Thank you in advance for all your help! Sincerely, M. Lap
In comments, moderators have their diamonds in the OP rectangle:        And in the review (suggested edits), mods have their diamonds outside the blue OP background highlight rectangle:        Of course, it Doesn't Really Matter At All, but it is a small discrepancy (I am not saying that in the review, OP rectangles have a bigger padding). Longtable: page breaks within row possible? I am editing a longtable. Some of my cells contain a lot of text. Page breaks seem to happen only where table rows end/begin. I'd like, however, for the rows to span pages; it's fine with me if, for example, the first few lines of a row are at the end of one page and the rest of the row's lines are on the next page. Multiplication in Permutation Groups Written in Cyclic Notation Understanding of the theorem that all norms are equivalent in finite dimensional vector spaces How to pop-up alert to a user when he/she navigate away from page without saving the Records in custom visual force page? I've been reading a Wikipedia article that describes the symptoms of rabies in various species, and I want to add a clarification note about which species (or species) a specific paragraph refers to. How can I make it clear that I'm referring either to the singular or plural of the word "species" when the singular of this word is the same as its plural? "Species or species" is the only grammatically correct way that I can think of, but it seems redundant and confusing. Is there any better way to contrast the singular of "species" from the plural of "species"? There are lots of questions tagged  that don't have a  response.  How do we interpret this? Is it because they are declined by default? We just have to wait for a response (the team is very busy)? Is Jeff the only one that reviews this questions?  I suppose the ones that have negative votes may (or may not) be declined by default, but there are quite a few with some to a lot upvotes that should have an official answer. How to properly restart unity? I keep on experiencing weird bugs. These usually start after a few hours of use. Sometimes the dash starts opening under every open window (becomes only visible on desktop, but I still can search and open anything with the enter key while it's not visible). Also, there are other minor annoyances, such as random places (especially maximized Chrome, tabs area) after navigating between programs with alt+tab can't be clicked with the mouse. Switching back and forth fixes this.  I cannot use  compiz --replace   since after that, all of the app indicator icons are gone (only teamviewer stays). Skype, network, languages, sound (also keyboard sound up/down stops working) and date are gone. Restarting unity-panel-service does not help.  Any thoughts on how to resolve these? How do you find out your very first chat in a particular chatroom? I want to know my very earliest/first chat post in a chatroom. Is there perhaps a way to search/view all my posts and sort the results? Is there any intuition or meaning regarding Cauchy-Riemann equations? Holomorphic functions are one of the most beautiful objects in mathematics. However, Cauchy-Riemann equations are a little bit of a mystery for me. What does that mean intuitively when a function satisfyes those equations? I'm flying Etihad Airways to Melbourne and I've a 14 hours layover at Abu Dhabi.  Some say that as long as you are inside the airport terminal you don't require a transit visa while some say you need a transit visa if your layover is more than 10 hours.  Can I stay inside the airport without a transit visa? CPU usage is too high with Yosemite and an external monitor I use Yosemite 10.10.4 on my MacBook Pro (2012).  I used to work with an external monitor: Apple Thunderbolt 27" monitor.  The issue is that, according to Activity Monitor, the kernel_task process consumes more than 600% of CPU even when no tasks are running! The computer becomes totally unusable.   The workaround is to disconnect the external monitor, but I really need this secondary screen to work.  Why didn't Apple fix this issue in the latest Yosemite update?  Is there a fix for this? Why is the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem so fundamental? Ref:   Can anyone please explain why the Yang–Mills Existence and Mass Gap problem is so important / fundamental to contemporary mathematics (and, presumably, theoretical / mathematical physics)?  If possible, please include the following in your answer / response:  (1) Why the problem is so fundamental / important - for both mathematics and theoretical / mathematical physics; (2) How the solution to the problem would impact research in the above two fields; (3) (If applicable) What progress has been made so far in resolving it; (references to papers, books, other resources would be helpful).  I'm an upper-level undergraduate in theoretical physics, and so am seeking an answer / response at such level. Problem in notation: $(\vec{v}\cdot\vec{\nabla})\vec{v}$ versus $L_v(\vec{v})$ This was the question of a test. My question is if my attempt to solve it is correct, and if it is, why is it correct.  $$\lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0), x+y \neq 0}{\frac{\ln(1-x-y)}{x+y} } $$  My attempt:   Let $\xi = -x-y $. Then $\xi \to 0$ whenever $(x,y) \to (0,0)$ and $x+y \neq 0 \iff \xi \neq 0$. (Is it then correct to say that the previous limit exists and is equal to the following iff the following exists? And why?):  $$\lim_{\xi \to 0, \xi \neq 0}{\frac{\ln(1+\xi )}{-\xi}}$$   If it is correct, then the limit exists and is $-1$. If it is correct, why is it correct? Is there a way to see my previous performances with respect to winter-bash? May be something like leagues for winter-bash? I understand that hats are different each year, but at least it would be nice to see the number of hats collected. How do you factorise $x^3z - x^3y - y^3z + yz^3 + xy^3 - xz^3$? I'm trying to factorise $$ x^3z - x^3y - y^3z + yz^3 + xy^3 - xz^3 $$ into four linear factors.  By plugging it into WolframAlpha I've learned that it's $$-(x-y)(x-z)(y-z)(x+y+z)$$  My question is: what are the steps involved in factorising the expression? Is there a method I don't know about that I'd have access to with my limited maths?  Really appreciate any help! How to install Opera Browser? I am trying to install opera browser from the terminal.  I downloaded the 'debian' installer because it didn't show up in software center.  It completely destroyed my software center - it is frozen and I have no idea how to fix (I have a different thread for that though).  Can I use this thing called synaptic package manager to install Opera?  or am I stuck with Firefox?    How do I install Opera Browser? How to watch Youtube fullscreen on one monitor of a dual-monitor display? How to watch Youtube fullscreen on one monitor of a dual-monitor display, in Linux?  If I do it in Google Chrome, as soon as I do anything at the other monitor, Chrome jumps back to normal window.  Edit: added that OS is Linux. I have an issue which I could not solve, although I tried and I got some help on R forum.  I am trying to calculate Mahalanobis distances on a data.frame, where I have several hundreds of groups and several hundreds of variables. Whatever I do, I get the system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number error.   It is clear that it is singular, but is there any way to get rid of it and run Mahalanobis? Should I forget solve this using another approach? If yes, then what else to use?  I have uploaded the data file to my :  It is a tab delimited txt file with no headers.  I was working with the R StatMatch Mahalanobis (also tried stats Mahalanobis) function. I have a deadline for this project (not a homework!), and I could always use this function, so I thought I will be able to keep the calculations short, but now I am lost.  Migrated .
