I'm trying to make a list of figures but am having some problems with the captioning.   Some pictures have long names since I explain some things in the caption, but I don't want this to show in the list of figures. How can I change it?   Attached a picture of how it looks right now. I want it only to read "2.6 Proportional control" as an example.
I would like to change the caption in the List of Tables in a way it is different from the caption in the corresponding table. How can I do that? Does there exist a command to do that?
Collective term for data sizes (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes etc.) As you will probably work out from my profile, I'm a software developer. This is sort of a software development question, but I think this is more suited to English language too.  Feel free to migrate if you think the question does not belong here.  Say I want to refer to the data size, or capacity of something:   A floppy disk can hold 1.44 megabytes of data. My flash drive can hold 16 gigabytes of data. My internet connection can operate at a maximum of 50 gigabits per second I have just managed to compress a file from 1 megabyte to just 200 kilobytes.   How do I collectively refer to these units of data size/capacity? How can I edit my network profile independently? My oldest account on the network is Area 51, followed by Mi Yodeya.  I recently filled out the "about me" section on Mi Yodeya (but nowhere else) and did not choose the "update all sites" option because my blurb is pretty specific to that site.  I intended to have that blurb on exactly one site.  I was surprised tonight to discover that that blurb is now on my network profile, where I see no "edit" link.  Am I stuck with either having a site-specific blurb as my network blurb (because it's my first non-Area-51 site) or rewriting it to be more general?  Or is there some way that I can independently edit the network profile?  (Or designate a different site as the default?)   shows that someone else had this problem too, but I'm asking for support, not for a new feature, so I'm asking this separately. Finding multivariable limits for the function $\frac{3x^2y}{x^2+y^2}$ How is the popularity of "recent tags" calculated? How are these calculated? I see them going up and down all the time, and there are obviously way more than 48 questions about C# so how are these calculated? Purpose of hole in stove leading to oven I'm staying in a hotel and have access to a "electric coil stove" for one of the first times.  I accidentally turned on the oven light and saw that the light was shining up through only one of the stoves:    There's only a port from the oven into the top right stove, and note that the stove is not on.  Here's a view from within the oven:    Is there a hole here as a vent for the oven for some reason, or is this for the stove? I typically use a glass "flat-top stove" that doesn't have an oven underneath it. I've never seen a direct hole from a stove to the oven before, and have to wonder what the purpose is. When should "Mom" and "Dad" be capitalized? I am trying to understand capitalization rules with Mom and Dad. I believe I have it correct below, but please let me know if I do not.     The one thing I learned from my dad was that it was good to earn the trust of one's children. Dad has shown me how good that a dad can be. One day when I went to his house, and Dad wasn't there, I ran outside....   The above passage is just made-up just so that you would see what I mean about capitalization. Let's put numbers by each one, like so:     The one thing I learned from my dad(1) was that it was good to earn the trust of one's children. Dad(2) has shown me how good that a dad(3) can be. One day when I went to his house, and Dad(4) wasn't there, I ran outside....    This is one where I'm not certain. I believe in this sense I'm showing possession here with "my", and it just didn't seem right saying "my Dad". I don't know what the grammar rule is here, or if I even have it right. This one is obvious—it starts the sentence. In this case, I'm using Dad like a name instead of saying "Larry". Therefore, it should be capitalized. Again, just like 3. Given $a,b,c$ are the sides of a triangle. Prove that $\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+a}+\frac{c}{a+b}<2$ How can I fix a 404 Error when using a PPA or updating my package lists?

I want to understand the intuition behind what is the difference between the optimization criteria of learning the hyperplane of the two, where the respective aims are as follows:     SVM: Try to maximize the margin between the closest support vectors LR: Maximize the posterior class probability    Let's consider the linear feature space for both SVM and LR.  Some differences I know of already:   SVM is deterministic (but we can use Platts model for probability score) while LR is probabilistic. For the kernel space, SVM is faster (stores just support vectors) What is the word for when someone is overly nice and actually isn't nice at all? What is the word for when someone is overly nice and actually isn't nice at all because of the unnecessary added information/comments? For example, they will say things like "Your hair looks so good that wayyyy omg you should do it that way ALL the time! Looks way better than how you usually do it." And the word I'm looking for is not passive aggressive and it is not sarcasm. There is a word for these types of people. What is it? These people think they're being kind but actually blunt and rude. Another example would be for someone to say "hey you're beautiful, but maybe if you didn't wear harsh makeup you would look better" and they intend to sound like they're being nice when you know they don't like you and are saying in out of spite. Is the energy density of vacuum uniform in the whole universe? Does light pollution affect sleep quality while already asleep? Many articles on the internet write about melatonin and its effects, making you tired. A lot of articles also point out how the use of devices before going to bed in modern days likely decrease melatonin production. Therefore, making it harder to fall asleep. But this information is only about the process of getting to sleep, before we are actually sleeping.  A recent Harvard Medical article 1 states:     High exposure to bright, artificial outdoor lights during the night may result in sleepless nights for older adults.   Referring to a publication on Nov. 15, 2018, in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.  Considering that:    many people nowadays, use their mobile devices in bed prior to going to sleep; modern cities or houses have (street) lights that are always enabled at night; ignoring the phase of falling sleep; focusing only on the time we are asleep already, so during the actual sleep cycles.   Does a darker room with less or no (artificial) light pollution improve sleep quality, with all associated health benefits as a result? In other words: Does light pollution, while asleep decrease the sleep quality or does light pollution only negatively affect the phase of “falling asleep”?  I wasn't able to find any studies or information regarding sleep quality in relation to light pollution during sleep. Were such studies performed? Are there specific moments when light pollution affects sleep quality the most, for example during REM-sleep or in a specific sleeping phase?    1 I have a managed C# dll that uses an unmanaged C++ dll using DLLImport. All is working great. However, I want to embed that unmanaged DLL inside my managed DLL as explain by Microsoft there:    So I added the unmanaged dll file to my managed dll project, set the property to 'Embedded Resource' and modify the DLLImport to something like:  [DllImport("Unmanaged Driver.dll, Wrapper Engine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)]   where  'Wrapper Engine' is the assembly name of my managed DLL 'Unmanaged Driver.dll' is the unmanaged DLL  When I run, I get:     Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005   (E_ACCESSDENIED))   I saw from MSDN and from  that's supposed to be possible... I want to test in a script whether a hostname resolves to something other than 127.0.0.1 as a pre-flight test for an install script. The tools I know (dig, nslookup) specifically query DNS. In my situation a correct entry in /etc/hosts is a valid configuration. So the question is:  Is there a dig-like tool, ideally already on the system, that does the full name-resolution process via nsswitch.conf, like (for example) ping does?  dig my-test-server-that-only-exists-in-etc-hosts    returns NXDOMAIN. Deserialize JSON object into dynamic object using Json.net As a follow-up to :  From what I've seen, this should work as expected:  void greet(){   char c[] = "Hello";   greetWith(c);   return; }   but this will cause undefined behavior:  char *greet(){    char c[] = "Hello";   return c; }   If I'm right, what's the best way to fix the second greet function? In an embedded environment? On a desktop? Is the 64-Bit version of Ubuntu only compatible with AMD CPUs? What is happening here, when I use squared loss in logistic regression setting? I am trying to use squared loss to do binary classification on a toy data set. I am using mtcars data set, use mile per gallon and weight to predict transmission type. The plot below shows the two types of transmission type data in different colors, and decision boundary generated by different loss function. The squared loss is $\sum_i (y_i-p_i)^2$ where $y_i$ is the ground truth label (0 or 1) and $p_i$ is the predicted probability $p_i=\text{Logit}^{-1}(\beta^Tx_i)$. In other words, I am replace logistic loss with squared loss in classification setting, other parts are the same. For a toy example with mtcars data, in many cases, I got a model &quot;similar&quot; to logistic regression (see following figure, with random seed 0).  But in somethings (if we do set.seed(1)), squared loss seems not working well.  What is happening here? The optimization does not converge? Logistic loss is easier to optimize comparing to squared loss? Any help would be appreciated.
