I  have a script which monitor a directory and call a function with certain arguments. And in this script a open file.log to explain what happened each time there is a new file in the monitored directory.  This is the prototype of my function :   def and_now_my_watch_begin(dir_to_watch, function_to_call, *args_for_function):   I would like to know if there was any way to get function's name like a function.name.to_str() or something like this ?
In Python, how do I get a function name as a string, without calling the function?  def my_function():     pass  print get_function_name_as_string(my_function) # my_function is not in quotes   should output "my_function".  Is such function available in Python? If not, any ideas on how to implement get_function_name_as_string, in Python?
In Python, you can do this:  import webbrowser webbrowser.open_new("http://example.com/")   It will open the passed in url in the default browser  Is there a ruby equivalent? How to call child component controller function/helper from Parent Component Controller convert a html book to a pdf file? How can I convert a html book (consisting of a number of html files linked to each other) to a pdf file on Ubuntu?   Hope the resulting pdf file can have bookmarks according to the structures of the html book.  The html book can be downloaded from . Extract it, and go to help, and the directory manual is the html book. Let $a,b,c&gt; 0$ be three real numbers such that $a+b+c=1$. I want to prove that   $$\frac{a}{a^2+b^3+c^3}+\frac{b}{b^2+a^3+c^3}+\frac{c}{c^2+a^3+b^3}\le\frac{1}{5abc}.$$  My attempt: Using AM-GM on each denominator gives (here, LHS denotes the left-hand side) $$LHS\le\frac{1}{3a^{\frac12}bc}+\frac{1}{3b^{\frac12}ac}+\frac{1}{3c^{\frac12}ab}.$$  However, I think that my attempt doesn't work because the last expression can get larger than $\frac{1}{5abc}$. In fact, if we multiply with $3abc$ then the original inequality is: $$\sqrt a+\sqrt b+\sqrt c\le\frac35$$  However, as $a,b,c&lt;1$, $$\sqrt a +\sqrt b + \sqrt c&gt; a+b+c=1&gt;\frac35.$$ So my upper bound is always larger than the given one. I've been using Texmaker for ~5 years now and prefer it over other editors because of its flexibility.   Is there a way to auto-indent LaTeX code in TeXmaker so that the code becomes more manageable ? How do I change the Google Play country? Can someone tell me how to change the country preference for Google Play? I have searched high and low but in most of the forums people ask you to go to Gmail settings -> edit profile and change the country there. But there is no place to change the country in settings! There is a something called place (which can be marked as current) but that has no impact on Google Play.  I don't want to circumvent country restrictions, I want to permanently change the country. So it's NOT a duplicate of . I'm just starting to learn linear algebra and I understand Gaussion elimination but I don't understand this proof:    Is the heart of this the fact that all the while when I've been row-reducing matrices to reduced row-echelon form... I've actually been multiplying a matrix by a series of a elementary matrices?  What does the notation $[A\ \ 0]$ mean?  How is the equation $A = E_1^{-1}...E_k^{-1}$ arrived at? For some reason, the profile-hover view thingy is not loading at all(on Stackoverflow). I initially thought that it might be because of , but its been closed with the status, no-repro. Also, this is now persisting for the past 1 hour for me.  I tried to clear the cache and stuffs but nothing seems to be working, as the hover view is still not loading. Is this some sort of  or an issue with the browser? I'm using Firefox 25.0.1 on Win7 Pro(x86) machine. Here is a snapshot of it. How to revert an update? The latest xorg update was a big regression for me on a dual display setup. Is there a simple way to revert to the previous version?  I'm on Lucid Lynx. Don't show pending suggested edits to me after I run out of votes Now that I've reached 2k on Stack Overflow, I get access to the "Suggested Edits" review queue.  Although I only have 20 edits per day, the "suggested edit awaiting" icon in the top bar is always there and it bothers me a lot!  My suggestion is to apply one of three solutions:   Remove the suggested edits icon when we reach the maximum (50) edits Remove the Highlight (orange) on the suggested edits Remove the suggested edits part when we click on it   What do you think? What to do with an Ubuntu disk image that appears as a WinRAR file? I've never used Ubuntu before. Just heard from some friends. "IT'S GREAT!!!", they used to say. So i decided to try it. I downloaded WUBI, and ran it but 'twas takin' too much time. So I decided to download the .ISO Image file separately. It couldn't download more after 150 mB, and got interrupted (and cancelled) itself. I just went to , and further went to , and searched for my question. After having found a related one, which told     "try the torrent way"   So I downloaded it through the torrent. And after that when I opened the .rar file, there wasn't any .ISO image file; just some folders with names like .disc, boot, ISOLINUX, etc. I searched for the .ISO file but nothin' there: ANYONE HELP ME, PLEASE!!! or this will drive me into never thinkin' about Ubuntu again. If a car hits a wall at a speed of $v$, and an identical car hits a wall at a speed of $2\,v$, with the kinetic energy equation $E_K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (the speed goes from $v$ to $0$) the second car will lose 4 times the energy, and therefore cause 4 times the damage, but with the force equation $F = ma$ (the car hits the wall and decelerates), it will hit with 2 times the force, and cause 2 times the damage.  How can this be explained? How is Selenium RC different from Selenium Web driver and some good pointers for a naive beginner to learn to scripting please? Thanks! Assume that $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables with $X \sim \exp(\lambda)$ and $Y \sim \exp(\mu)$. It is impossible to obtain direct observations of $X$ and $Y$. Instead, we observe the random variables $Z$ and $W$, where $Z = \min\{X,Y\}$ and $W =1$ if $Z=X$ and $W=0$ if $Z=Y$.  How to find the joint distribution of $Z$ and $W$? How to AutoSize the height of a Label but not the width What issues / pitfalls must be considered when overriding equals and hashCode? What is the percentage increase to any value when initial value is 0? This is a very simple maths problem, which doesn’t seems simple to me when I just put some extra thoughts on it. So need to borrow some extra brains for this.   Question: If cost of coffee in my office was Dollar 0 till yesterday and today it is Dollar 2.5 then what is the percentage increase in the cost of coffee?  Initially it seemed like 2.5% increase, simply by distributing number from 0 to 100, but this is not the case.   Some suggested it is infinitely more than the previous value, because we are calculating percentage by dividing by zero. But what about this if the cost of coffee was $0.25? Isn’t still infinitely more! Something is wrong here.   PS: Yes, coffee were free in our office but not anymore, and we are still recovering from this shocker. 😥 What iron-clad reason did Dumbledore have for believing Snape was on his side What iron-clad reason did Dumbledore have for believing Snape was on his side? Maybe he was a good actor and a double agent. Was it just that he loved (or pretended to) Lily or he used legilimency? In the Unity3D game engine, a common code sequence for getting remote data is this:  WWW www = new WWW("http://remote.com/data/location/with/texture.png"); yield return www;   What is the underlying mechanism here?  I know we use the yield mechanism in order to allow the next frame to be processed, while the download is being completed. But what is going on under the hood when we do the yield return www ?   What method is being called (if any, on the WWW class)? Is Unity using threads? Is the "upper" Unity layer getting hold of www instance and doing something?  EDIT:   This question is specifically about Unity3D internals. I'm not interested in explanations of how yield statement works in C#. Instead, I'm looking for an inside view of how Unity deals with these constructions, to allow, for example, to WWW to download a piece of data in a distributed manner across several frames.
