Is it possible to have a monoid with a proper class as the collection of elements? My question if it possible for us to have, for example, a monoid(any algebraic structure really) with a class as the collection of the elements, instead of a set.  An example would be the class of sets and set union as addition. Clearly, it is closed under the operation, is associative and it has an identity element, so it is a monoid. Is it possible to say so? Drupal site moved from development to live - IE won't load stylesheets anymore Before you ask ... I have looked everywhere for a solution, even drupal.org but nothing so far seems to work.  I developed a Drupal site (custom child theme for Zen) and on the development server everything looks fine in all browsers.  I did a test migration to another server before the launch. This move went well and everything looks fine in all browsers.  Then I moved the site to its live server where everything looks fine in all browsers except Internet Explorer which is not loading the stylesheets.  I know Drupal is known for generating many stylesheets and Internet Explorer will not load them if there are more than 31 (I believe) of them, but I did set the "Aggregate and compress CSS files" feature and clear the cache. This did not seem to help.  Could the answer be in one of the two following things?   The development site and backup site are both with one hosting provider. The live site is with a different hosting provider. The development site and backup site are in subfolders of two different portfolio sites ... ie www.portfoliosite.com/Newsite. The live site is a subdomain of the parent site ... ie www.newsite.parentsite.com.   I have run out of ideas so if anyone has a possible solution or direction to look, please let me know. Thanks "Can/may/will you help me with this?" Which word to use when we ask for help?  Some conditions:     We know that the person asked is able to do it. We don't know if the person asked is able to do it. Why is it true that every finite-dimensional inner product space is a Hilbert space? A Hilbert space is, by definition, a complete inner product space. If $(V,|.|)$ is finite dimensional inner product space of dimension $n$ then it is (topologically) isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$ which is of course complete. My instinct here is to say "and therefore, $V$ is also a Hilbert space". I'm not sure about this step however since completeness depends on the norm and the norm depends on the selected inner product (assuming the induced norm $||x|| = (x | x)^{1/2}$ is used). So, must we place some condition on the inner product or is the topological isomorphism between $\mathbb{R}^n$ enough to guarantee that V is Hilbert? How to install Redis on Ubuntu 16.04? I am working with Laravel but i have installed all on my own (php, mysql, composer, nginx) and now i need to install Redis and configure it so i could use it for queue driver in Laravel.  How to install it, because it cannot be installed through apt-get install redis  i get this error:  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install redis [sudo] password for ubuntu:  Reading package lists...

Suppose $a, b \in \mathbb{Z}$, $a &gt; b$, and $\gcd (a,b) = 1$.  What can be said about $\gcd (a+b,a-b)$?  Is it true in general that $\gcd (a+b,a-b) \leq 2$? Strange behaviour of macros C/C++ Motion tracked Video doesn't show up in the render or in the compositing tab Who should own files shared by a group and where should they go I want a translucent PNG overlayed on top of my screen (above all windows). I'm using this to mark a visible region while streaming.   So far I've figured out that qiv -transparent filename.png will add a mask to the window, but it's a boolean mask. I don't get translucent fading with the alpha channel.  I know several effects have opacity, and I can sent window opacity, so I'm hoping there's some way to display an image that way.  What program, tool, or widget can I use to blend an image onto the top of the desktop? sudo apt upgrade error 18.04 (Broken Packages) Wi-Fi only works after waking MacBookPro7,1 from sleep Been having some issues with the STA drivers from bcrmwl-kernel-source. While the drivers do function, they only seem to function after putting the laptop to sleep, by either closing the lid, or manually putting it to sleep, and waking it up. The laptop here is a MacBookPro7,1 (Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro), running Ubuntu 17.04.  While the issue isn't bad enough to deter me from using the laptop, it is not an elegant solution, and I believe that there can be a solution found somewhere.  For reference, here are the outputs from the Wireless Info script for both before and after: , . Hopefully these are of some use. If you need additional information about the computer, I will be happy to answer. This works just fine:      protected void txtTest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         if (sender is TextBox) {...}      }   Is there a way to check if sender is NOT a TextBox, some kind of an equivalent of != for "is"?  Please, don't suggest moving the logic to ELSE{} :) Watermark TextBox in WinForms Cruise ship in the Schengen area: Do the days spent at sea count toward the limit for short visits? I am planning on spending 90 days in Schengen zone countries.  I will be taking a cruise between Lisbon and Barcelona.  Do the days at sea count against the 90 days allowed for staying in the Schengen zone? How can I intercept XMLHttpRequests from a Greasemonkey script? I keep seeing custom flags in the queue from question askers who are incredibly irritated because there is a big, prominent box at the top of their question. It's just a list of other questions which may have the answer they desire, and is only even displayed to them because the question is not closed yet.  This question may already have an answer here: [list]  But to an ordinary user, it is not at all clear that the box is only shown to them, or that it will go away on its own if their question never actually gets closed. Could the text for this notice be altered to make it more clear that:  They are just suggestions for the person to view. Potentially if they agree with one, they should vote to close their own question as a duplicate of it.  Their question is not closed yet. If they disagree with the duplicates suggested, they should clarify their question and explain why it's not a duplicate.   I was thinking of an altered wording such as:  You might be able to find an answer to your question here: [list] If those answers do not fully address your question, please [edit your question] to clarify your exact problem.  I went with a more direct wording for the bolded title. Since the notice is only displayed to the asker, it makes more sense to talk directly to them in the message rather than making it feel like it's supposed to be addressing the entire audience of the site. Emphasize that only that person is seeing it by talking to them. It would also be helpful to append a &quot;More info&quot; link at the end of the message that links them to some further documentation about duplicates, and explains how the notice works - particularly that it will go away eventually or change to a proper duplicate notice if the question does get closed. Trigger a php file on every post or page if a condition is met I was wondering if we can trigger a PHP file on every WordPress post or page if a certain condition is met. Let me detail what I want.   Can we write a simple PHP script that will be automatically loaded on every WP post and page. Once loaded, the script should scan the HTML and if it finds a specific DIV tag with the ID myID it should trigger another PHP file (let's say script.php). Once the target PHP file has been triggered or executed, the target PHP file (script.php) should be able to automatically fetch the URL of the post or page that triggered the file and store it in a variable.   Any ideas?? What was L's real name? I watched through Death Note once, and I never remember hearing L's name, even after he died.  What was L's real name, or did he never have one (it was never said)? Is it possible to prove that $1+1 = 2$? Or rather, how would one prove this algebraically or mathematically?
