I would like to create a pdf file that containes only the table captions, but not the content of the table. So I tried to redefine the tabular environment in the preamble of my document (it is probably not the best solution but I don't mind quick and dirty - I need to use it only temporarily):  \let\oldtabular\tabular \let\endoldtabular\endtabular \renewenvironment{tabular}{\iffalse\oldtabular}{\endoldtabular\fi}   or  \usepackage{etoolbox} \preto\tabular{\iffalse} \appto\tabular{\fi}   Unfortunatelly, it seems to have no effect on my document. If I manually frame the tabular environment it works:  \begin{table}[htbp]     \centering     \caption{my captiontext}     \iffalse         \begin{tabular}             Content I don't want to see         \end{tabular}     \fi     \label{myTableLabel} \end{table}   Thanks in advance for any input!
I am writing my thesis,  and i am in restructuring phase - sorting theorems where they should belong thematically. And it would be helpful to have all the proofs hidden so i am not laden with the additional information.  Is it possible to add something like hideproof to documentclass options to omit them when compiling the latex file.
Possible cardinality of power sets What cardinals can provably not occur as the cardinality of a power set? I know that $\mathbb N$ and natural numbers that are not powers of two are such cardinals. What else is out there? Simple Past vs. Present Perfect: "was" vs. "has been" The  is minimal and clean on a fresh installation of Windows. Install a bunch of applications and soon the context menu is loaded with all kinds of opening options from various applications.  How do I remove items from the right click (context) menu?  I find that there are different types of right click menu items:   Global items that appear in all context menus. Items that appear only on folders. Items that appear only on files. Items that appear only on special folders (Ex: Right clicking a folder of MP3s shows up a context menu with items like Play with Windows Media Player.) Items that appear only on certain file types (Ex: Right clicking a MP3 file shows up a context menu with items from Windows Media Player/Foobar2000/VLC/your-favorite-media-player begging to open this file.)   I want to be able to delete all these kinds items from the right click (context) menu. How can I select first occurrence between two patterns including them. Preferably using sed or awk.  I have:  text something P1 something content1 content2 something P2 something text something P1 something content3 content4 something P2 something text   I want the first occurrence of the lines between P1 and P2 (including P1 line and P2 line):  something P1 something content1 content2 something P2 something Note: I am posting a question from a former student of mine unable to post on his own for technical reasons.  Given an iid sample $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ from a Weibull distribution with pdf $$ f_k(x) = k x^{k-1} e^{-x^k} \quad x&gt;0 $$ is there a useful missing variable representation  $$f_k(x) = \int_\mathcal{Z} g_k(x,z)\,\text{d}z$$and hence an associated EM (expectation-maximisation) algorithm that could be used to find the MLE of $k$, instead of using straightforward numerical optimisation? Why would someone buy a way out-of-the-money call option that's expiring soon? I swing trade equity options every once in a while for fun. This morning I witnessed something I do not understand at all.  In the attached photo, why would someone purchase 6 contracts for .05 at $76.  I just can't wrap my head around this!    Scenario:   Underlying Asset: RY.TSX  Current Price: $71.70 Days to expiry: 4 Days     EDIT: It happened again the next day with 74, see new table with headers as per request:   My only reason for asking is because RY.TSX is the Royal Bank of Canada, this stock will not move multiple dollars in 3 days(expiry in this scenario).  Why buy 10 @ 74 for .04 each instead of just buying 10 @73 for .04 which would have gone through.  If you do the math(excluding commissions): .04 * 100(shares in a contract) * 10 contracts = $40 Stock moves to 74 and they are in the money lets say for .20 .20*100*10 = $200  I just don't see the reward as 99% of the time you will lose this wager, it is just not worth it even if it does happen once in a blue moon.  I can think of much better things to do with $40.  For the skeptics another screen shot to actually confirm this order: $R$ is commutative, $I$,$J$ are ideals, $I+J=R$, then $IJ=I\cap J$ If $R$ is a commutative ring and $I$ and $J$ are ideals s.t. $I+J=R$ then show that $IJ=I\cap J$.  I've already shown that $IJ \subset I\cap J$, now I need to show the reverse inclusion.   I'm a bit lost, so far i'm just figuring out what pieces I have to work with.  Such as:  $\forall r\in R$ $\exists i\in I ,j\in J$ s.t. $i+j=r$  $\forall ij\in IJ$, $ij=i_1$ and $ij=j_1$ for some $i_1\in I$, $j_1\in J$.  Also, if I let $x\in I\cap J$, then $x=i_2=j_2=i+j$ for some $i_2\in I$, $j_2\in J$  Anyone, having problem getting to the conclusion here, thanks in advance Drawing cross section in QGIS? Does anyone have a simple work-flow for drawing cross sections of earth features in QGIS?   My thing is that QGIS is being used to present the plan view, but we have a little interest in some elevations as well. All the data is one set and is simply an elevation value in the attribute table, I don't want to have to move all that to CAD.  One logical workaround is to present the z value as the y.  I am a dunce in paper space in CAD, and would be more comfortable with the QGIS Composer. Make terminal use pageup/pagedown instead of shift-pageup/shift-pagedown? I've grown quite weary of shift-pgup to page up in gnome terminal, the command line, terminator, and guake, etc.  Any way to easily make these apps use the straight page-up and page-down keys for paging around? Calibre stopped working recently. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Edit Mail rules manually How can I use the "signature" function in Preview on Mac Mini with no camera? I have a Mac Mini with no attached camera. I would like to use the feature of Preview that allows you to insert a signature. This relies on taking an image of your signature using an isight/facetime/webcam. I do not have on.  I do have a MacBook pro on which I use the signature function. Is there a way to copy a file from the the MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini to enable this function on the Mini? The classical book on commutative algebra Introduction to Commutative Algebra, by Atiyah and Macdonald, has the following as exercise I.11.       A ring is Boolean if $x^2=x$ for any $x$ of $A$. In a Boolean ring $A$, show that     i) $2x=0$ for all $x\in A$;    ii) Every prime ideal of $A$ is maximal, and its residue field consists of two elements;   iii) Every finitely generated ideal of $A$ is principal.     I can but solve the first two of them; for the last one, I cannot even perceive the situation here, for it will not, generally speaking, be a Dedekind domain, whereof my knowledge is somewhat more. I have hitherto tried to find one element for each ideal of two generators which can stand the stead of them, and then proceed by induction. But even the first step fails to produce any result. Thanks for any hints and inspirations in advance. How can I know if a branch has been already merged into master? I have a git repository with multiple branches.   How can I know which branches are already merged into the master branch? Baked beans still firm after soaking and hours of cooking (p → q) ∧ ¬p ⇒ ¬q  I have tried to use the rules of inference in many ways to prove this argument to be valid. However, I cannot seem to find a way to validate the argument, but I am afraid I have missed something.  Using a truth table I find that when p and q is 0, then p → q is 1, ¬p is 1 and ¬q is 1. Would that not make the argument valid?  I apologize in advance if I have misunderstood the whole concept. Any answer would be much appreciated.
