How can you print a variable name in python? Say I have a variable named choice it is equal to 2. How would I access the name of the variable? Something equivalent to  In [53]: namestr(choice) Out[53]: 'choice'   for use in making a dictionary. There's a good way to do this and I'm just missing it.  EDIT:  The reason to do this is thus. I am running some data analysis stuff where I call the program with multiple parameters that I would like to tweak, or not tweak, at runtime. I read in the parameters I used in the last run from a .config file formated as  filename no_sig_resonance.dat  mass_peak 700  choice 1,2,3   When prompted for values, the previously used is displayed and an empty string input will use the previously used value.  My question comes about because when it comes to writing the dictionary that these values have been scanned into. If a parameter is needed I run get_param which accesses the file and finds the parameter.   I think I will avoid the problem all together by reading the .config file once and producing a dictionary from that. I avoided that originally for... reasons I no longer remember. Perfect situation to update my code! How do I get a DOI for a dataset? A DOI is a commonly used digital object identifier to refer to an electronic document. How do I secure a DOI for a research dataset, to help share and identify it? I remember reading a book in high school where a group of people travel to an alien planet where they discover an alien civilization separated into 2 castes. they are then made slaves to the taller class of aliens and one man has the flesh removed from his hands to make his fingers appear longer. Let $\displaystyle f$ be differentiable, $\displaystyle f(x)=0$ for $|x| \geq 10 $ and $g(x)=\sum_{k \in \mathbb Z}f(x+k).$ "The news is good." Why? Convert short[] into a grayscale image What is the adjectival form for the word "integrity?" I'm looking for the adjectival form of &quot;integrity.&quot; Instead of &quot;Be a person of integrity,&quot; I'd like to say something like &quot;Be [one word I'm looking for]&quot; I did a  for this, but I also wanted to know what stackexchange folks would like to say. setSystemUiVisibility(SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION) does not work Should I remove non-significant variables from my regression model I have run a multiple linear regression using stepwise regression to select the best model, however the best model returned has a non-significant variable. When I remove this the AIC value goes up indicating the model without the significant variable is a worse fit. Should I remove the non-significant predictor or should I leave it in as it is a better model? What bizarrities lurk within the decimal expansion of an irrational number? i.e. can we write  $\pi = 3.14159\dots X\dots$  where $X$ consists of (say) $10^{100}$ consecutive zeroes?  [Originally asked on reddit without response :-( ] What software is used to generate the reputation graphs on Stack Exchange? I'm particularly interested in the zooming functionality which is done very well. Were these graphs generated using off the shelf software or were they coded from scratch? I did a dumb thing... I forgot that Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) switched to &nbsp;2 which puts a ton of *.mod files (kernel modules) in /boot/grub. I thought they were soundtrack files put there erroneously, and I moved them. Needless to say, the next reboot was traumatic. I was presented with something I had no memory of ever seeing... a 'grub rescue>' prompt.  With the help of  however, I was able to recover...   I discovered that GRUB rescue does not have 'cd', 'cp' or any other filesystem commands except its own variation of 'ls'. So first I had to find the partition with the /boot directory containing vmlinuz file and other boot image files... (approximation from memory of failed attempts, as well as blank lines for clarity, added 2014-07-10 by docsalvage)    grub rescue&gt;  ls   (hd0,4) (hd0,3) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)    grub rescue&gt;  ls (hd0,4)/boot ... some kind of 'not found' message  grub rescue&gt;  ls (hd0,3)/boot ... some kind of 'not found' message  grub rescue&gt;  ls (hd0,2)/boot ... grub ... initrd.img-2.6.32-33-generic ... vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic   I found a /boot directory containing the vmlinuz file vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic on partition (hd0,2). Then I manually booted from the 'grub rescue>' prompt. The following commands will...   Set the root to use the /boot directory on partition (hd0,2). Load kernel module linux. Set that module to use the kernel image vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic. Set initrd(initialize RAM disk) to use the image initrd.img-2.6.32-33-generic. Boot Linux.  grub rescue&gt;  set root=(hd0,2)/boot   grub rescue&gt;  insmod linux   grub rescue&gt;  linux (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic root=/dev/sda2 grub rescue&gt;  initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-33-generic   grub rescue&gt;  boot    This boots and crashes to the BusyBox prompt which DOES have some rudimentary filesystem commands. Then I moved the *.mod files back to the /boot/grub directory...  busybox&gt;  cd /boot   busybox&gt;  mv mod/* grub busybox&gt;  reboot  The reboot was successful, but that was a lot of work.   Is there an easier way? Comments are useful. Many, many posts need some small amount of meta discussion, and comments fulfill this need.   Comments are also noisy and distracting. Occasionally, someone will post an insightful and informative comment that complements the post its attached to... But more often, they're tangential, quickly irrelevant and in the way: stale comments show up first, making newer comments less visible.  The guidance here for a long time has been that comments are transient, . And yet, some do hang around for months or years because .   So let's fix that.   I propose that all comments older than 7 days be hidden by default unless the comment has been up-voted in the past 30 days. Hidden comments should be indicated by a note below the post ("add / show 3 more comments") and made visible to anyone who cares to click it.   This doesn't destroy anything, but it would get it out of the way of most readers - and hopefully encourage folks to edit it into the actual answers as a result.  Note: I previously suggested this . Other  have been . However, I'm not suggesting that comments be automatically deleted, and they should be hidden based purely on the age / activity of the comment itself, not of the post to which they're attached. I see this often in the build scripts of projects that use autotools (autoconf, automake).  When somebody wants to check the value of a shell variable, they frequently use this idiom:  if test "x$SHELL_VAR" = "xyes"; then ...   What is the advantage to this over simply checking the value like this:  if test $SHELL_VAR = "yes"; then ...   I figure there must be some reason that I see this so often, but I can't figure out what it is. For example, "dude," "man," "buddy," "pal," etc, when used to stand in for someone's name.  "Hey, pal, how's it going?"  Is there a word for terms like these?  Or is "colloquialism" as close as we can get? Carrying a handgun in other countries with a US concealed carry permit Variations in the pronunciation of "the" Although there are rather simple rules determining the pronunciation of "the", native speakers quite often deviate from these rules (including, e.g., TV shows). According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary,     The EFL learner is advised to use [ðə] before a consonant sound (the   boy, the house), [ði] before a vowel sound (the egg, the hour). Native   speakers, however, sometimes ignore this distribution, in particular   by using [ðə] before a vowel (which is in turn usually reinforced by a   preceding ʔ), or by using [ði:] in any   environment, though especially before a hesitation pause. Furthermore,   some speakers use stressed [ðə] as a strong form, rather than the   usual [ði:].   My question is: when native speakers use [ðə] instead of [ði] before a vowel sound, do they do it on purpose or accidentally? If it is on purpose, how do they (typically) decide which pronunciation to use? What is a valid reason to use [ðə] before a vowel sound?
