I could not find this feature in the alpha version of Blender 2.8, nor could I find any information on whether the feature will still be available with the release. I only found a hint in  where a responder said the interface for the layers is not yet fully implemented. Does anyone know if this feature will still be available with the new release? Thank you.
I have a collection that contains linked assets. I would like to override their materials and give them a unique material. Is it possible to assign a material to a whole collection, and how ?  Thanks !
Structure of a C++ Object in Memory Vs a Struct If I have a class as follows     class Example_Class     {        private:          int x;           int y;         public:           Example_Class()           {               x = 8;              y = 9;          }        ~Example_Class()         { }     };   And a struct as follows  struct {    int x;    int y; } example_struct;   Is the structure in memory of the  example_struct simmilar to that in Example_Class  for example if I do the following  struct example_struct foo_struct; Example_Class foo_class = Example_Class();  memcpy(&amp;foo_struct, &amp;foo_class, sizeof(foo_struct));   will foo_struct.x = 8 and foo_struct.y = 9 (ie: the same values as the x,y values in the foo_class) ?  The reason I ask is I have a C++ library (don't want to change it) that is sharing an object with C code and I want to use a struct to represent the object coming from the C++ library. I'm only interested in the attributes of the object.  I know the ideal situation would be to have Example_class wrap arround a common structure between the C and C++ code but it is not going to be easy to change the C++ library in use. Maximum and minimum of of $f(x)=|x-1|+|x-2|+|x-3|$ I have a Java process that opens a file using a FileReader. How can I prevent another (Java) process from opening this file, or at least notify that second process that the file is already opened? Does this automatically make the second process get an exception if the file is open (which solves my problem) or do I have to explicitly open it in the first process with some sort of flag or argument? To clarify: I have a Java app that lists a folder and opens each file in the listing for processing it. It processes each file after the other. The processing of each file consists of reading it and doing some calculations based on the contents and it takes about 2 minutes. I also have another Java app that does the same thing but instead writes on the file. What I want is to be able to run these apps at the same time so the scenario goes like this. ReadApp lists the folder and finds files A, B, C. It opens file A and starts the reading. WriteApp lists the folder and finds files A, B, C. It opens file A, sees that is is open (by an exception or whatever way) and goes to file B. ReadApp finishes file A and continues to B. It sees that it is open and continues to C. It is crucial that WriteApp doesn't write while ReadApp is reading the same file or vice versa. They are different processes. I have some pairs of datasets (n=200 or thereabouts), of samples which are non-negative and not normally distributed. I think these pairs of variables are related, probably linearly.   Calculating Spearman's rank correlation on these datasets gives some strange results. The correlation coefficients show that the pairs of variables are weakly, positively correlated (e.g. rho of around 0.4), but the p-values are very low (e.g. 4.1e-10).  My vague understanding of this is that the variables are weakly, positively correlated but the probability of unrelated variables producing the same correlation is very low. Does this mean we can be reasonably certain that a positive correlation exists or have I misunderstood? Difference between processing.runalg() and general.runalg() In the discussion from a question I asked several days ago (), someone suggested that I use general.runalg() instead of processing.runalg() for running QGIS algorithms.    I've now used both, and haven't noticed a difference in either performance or syntax between them.  I'm just wondering what sort of differences there are between these two methods, and which one I should be using. One adjective for two or more nouns Could we use one adjective for two nouns? Is the following sentence correct?     It has low speed and voltage. Why does polynomial factorization generalize to matrices I'm reading about linear algebra and I came across with the following theorem where I have a problem convincing myself:      Theorem 2.1 $\,$ Every linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space has an eigenvalue.      Proof:       To show that $T$ (our linear operator on $V$) has an   eigenvalue, fix any nonzero vector $v \in V$. The vectors $v, Tv,  T^2v,..., T^nv$ cannot be linearly independent, because $V$ has   dimension $n$ and we have $n + 1$ vectors. Thus there exist complex   numbers $a_0,...,a_n$, not all $0$, such that      $$a_0v + a_1Tv + ··· + a_nT^nv = 0.$$ Make the $a$’s the coefficients   of a polynomial, which can be written in factored form as $$a_0 + a_1z  + ··· + a_nz^n = c(z − r_1)\cdots(z − r_m),$$ where $c$ is a non-zero complex number, each $r_j$ is complex, and the equation holds for all   complex $z$. We then have      $${\color{red}{ 0=(a_0I + a_1T + ··· + a_nT^n)v= c(T − r_1I)\cdots(T −  r_mI)v}},$$ which means that $T − r_j$ I is not injective for at least   one $j$. In other words, $T$ has an eigenvalue.$\;\blacksquare$   I'm having trouble with the factorized form of the matrix polynomial (in red). I understood that the factorization holds for a polynomial by the fundamental theorem of algebra but why does this also hold for matrices?  In other words, why is the the part I highlighted true? Does such an factorization always exist?    Could I have some help to see this? Thank you =)   P.S.  is my reference (page 3).  UPDATE:   Someone else also has asked the  before it seems. Edge won't connect to internet, Skype for business won't screen-share, Windows Store won't update apps after Windows 10 version 1809 installed I ran into a problem after upgrading Windows 10 October 2018 to version 1809. After the Windows update I noticed the following problems with Microsoft applications:   Microsoft Edge could no longer connect to the internet even though Chrome, Firefox and IE 11 still could. Skype for Business (formerly Lync) no longer allowed me to share my screen or view another person's shared screen. The Windows Store could not connect to the internet to update apps. The Microsoft Feedback portal could no longer connect to the internet.   How can I resolve these network issues that seemed to cooincide with an upgrade to Win10 ver 1809? I am trying to testfor a player holding a diamond sword named Notch's Legendary Sword. How can I do that? Who ever gets the best answer will be able to get the first look at my NEW adventure map! Suppose that $(s_n)$ converges to $s$, $(t_n)$ converges to $t$, and $s_n \leq t_n \: \forall \: n$. Prove that $s \leq t$. I'm stuck with the proof of the following:  Suppose that $(s_n)$ converges to $s$, $(t_n)$ converges to $t$, and $s_n \leq t_n \: \forall \: n$. Prove that $s \leq t$.   I've tried starting with $s_n \leq t_n \: \forall : n$ and the definitions of each limit (i.e. $|s_n - s| \leq \epsilon \: \forall \: n &gt; N_1$), but I'm not really getting very far. Any help is appreciated! If temperature makes particles vibrate faster, and movement is limited by the speed of light, then I would assume that temperature must be limited as well. Why is there no limit? "Unable to connect to Upstart" error when installing git-all I am using 15.04.   So I'm working with git and I installed the standard version. I set up the ssh keys and was able to clone one of my repositories to the correct folder. Everything was working great and then I decided it was a good idea to install more packages. I ran sudo apt-get install git-all. I'm looking at error codes now having to deal with upstart.  start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. dpkg: error processing package runit (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-daemon-run:  git-daemon-run depends on runit; however:   Package runit is not configured yet.  dpkg: error processing package git-daemon-run (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing:  runit  git-daemon-run E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)   This is what happens when I even update/upgrade my system. At this point all I'm looking to do is be able to install software and update my current software. Is there any way I can potentially reverse this issue or at least correct it?   Edit: Thankfully this issue was solved only a day or two after it happened. The accepted answer worked perfectly and took care of my issue A coworker and I are locked in a debate over the value of SEO keywords in the URL of a page. She wants to change all the filenames of the HTML pages of a fencing company so they look like residential-home-chicago.html, contact-chicago-contractor.html, and so on. She is convinced that because Google highlights keywords in URLs in search results, that means that putting keywords here is more valuable.  My position is that these do not improve SEO, since Google doesn't seem to give keywords in the URL any more weight than keywords in the body of the page, and . In the meantime, they make it harder for me to find the pages I want when its time to edit them, and the site as a whole looks cheap and spammy.   suggests to me that yes, keywords in URLs are useful, but not superior, and that they are more useful for human readability than search engine rankings.  I'm looking for authoritative sources that support either position, not blog articles from SEO optimization companies trying to promote themselves. How to repair a broken .EXE file association After (hopefully) scrubbing viruses out of a Windows 7 installation (after deciding not to simply run over the laptop repeatedly with my car), I've got everything almost back to normal. The only lingering issue I have is that for my non-admin users, the ".exe" file extension doesn't work. That is, clicking on the various desktop application links results in a "How do you want to open this?" dialog.  I've been through the alleged registry fixing from "winhelponline" and that had absolutely no effect.  I've tried running "assoc" for the affected users, but it reports the .exe association to be "exefile" even though it persistently does not work.  Right-clicking on a desktop icon and then choosing "start" does successfully open an application, but that's clearly a terrible situation.  For my admin user, things seem to work fine.  What do I need to do to get things working? How to change the date format? Presently the date is showing as mmm dd hh:mm:ss. Is there any way that I can change it to as per my liking. For example : dd mmm, hh:mm:ss. I am given this problem: let $a\ge0$,$b\ge0$, and the sequences $a_n$ and $b_n$ are defined in this way: $a_0:=a$, $b_0:=b$ and $a_{n+1}:= \sqrt{a_nb_n}$ and $b_{n+1}:=\frac{1}{2}(a_n+b_n)$ for all $n\in\Bbb{N}$    To prove is that both sequences converge and that they have the same limit. I don't know how to show this. I have spent 2 hours on this, no sign of success I want to know if there is a way to switch to console mode from the boot menu.  I have an NVIDIA 1070 and every time there is an update, the GUI stops working. All I need to do is re-install the drivers; however, to do that I need to be in console mode. EDIT: I should have added more information to this question but I'll comment on all answers. In short: I've tried text instead of quiet splash I do see booting activity in text mode; however, I don't get a login screen and ctrl + Alt + F1 doesn't help because GDM keeps trying to restart. Previously I managed to kill GDM through multiple tries but is not working since the latest update. EDIT: After searching for runlevel, I've found  but I think it required me to have a running system to make changes -- please correct me if I'm wrong. How do I properly clean up Excel interop objects? I'm using the Excel interop in C# (ApplicationClass) and have placed the following code in my finally clause:  while (System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelSheet) != 0) { } excelSheet = null; GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();   Although this kind of works, the Excel.exe process is still in the background even after I close Excel. It is only released once my application is manually closed.  What am I doing wrong, or is there an alternative to ensure interop objects are properly disposed of? Showing a set is closed under inverses Let $G$ be a finite group, say a group with $n$ elements, and let $\emptyset \neq S \subseteq G$. Suppose $e \in S$, and that $S$ is closed with respect to multiplication. Prove that $S$ is a subgroup of $G$.    Let $G = \{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}.$ Let $a_i \in G.$ Then any number of $a_ia_1, a_ia_2, \ldots, a_ia_n \in S,$ since $S$ is closed under multiplication. One of those $a_ia_j$ is $e$ since $e \in S.$ Then either $a_i$ or $a_j$ is $a^{-1}.$ Would this argument work? How do you display a photo map tip in QGIS 3 on Windows?  As a new user I'm not sure if this is my lack of experience or a bug, so I've tried to simplify it as far as I can:  This is the contents of the Layer Display properties.    &lt;div style="width:400;height:400"&gt; &lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="C:\Local\aa.jpg" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   and this is how it appears:    C:\Local\aa.jpg is real file I'm using to try to figure out what the problem is. What am I doing wrong?
