Creating a large amount of convex polygons using existing coordinates Has user testing found that the "three horizontal bars" for main menu on mobile is commonly understood? "Three horizontal lines" aka "hamburger icon" seems to be becoming a convention for the "main menu" button, especially on mobile sites:    Has anyone done any user testing of this convention, or got any A/B testing results? (i.e. is there an increase in bounce rate compared to using the word "Menu"?)  I did some quick user testing with wireframes featuring this icon for the main menu. 3 out of 6 people got it and used it. The others did not.  One person in particular had a lot of trouble "getting back to the top" (i.e. restarting their navigation from the top level of the site) as they didn't know about the convention, or that the logo would link to the home page.  I guess it will be different for different demographics - users of Facebook on mobile probably know it.  Anyone got any findings they can share? I'm looking for an idiom that is equivalent to the Portuguese:  Quem tudo quer, tudo perde. Who wants everything, loses everything.  It basically points out that being too ambitious will have bad consequences: not only does one not get what one's striving for, but one also ends up losing what one already had (and probably took for granted). This idiom should be usable in everyday speech. Dual Canadian and British citizen - healthcare coverage in the UK?

I would like to customize ubuntu for a library, they only want to display a web browser with their site in full screen.  No address bar, no button user can only click the link on the page.

Can you use Uncanny Dodge against extra damage effects? 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! I'm stuck with this integral  $\int\frac {\cos^4x}{\sin^3x} dx$    which I rewrote as  $\int \csc^3x \cos^4xdx$  then after using the half angle formula twice for $\cos^4x$ I got this  $\frac 14\int \csc^3x (1+\cos(2x))(1+\cos(2x))dx$   then after solving those products I got these integrals  $\frac 14 \{\int \csc^3xdx+2\int \csc^3x \cos(2x)dx + \int \csc^3x \cos^2(2x)dx\}$  I do know how to solve the $\int \csc^3xdx$ one but I'm totally lost on the other ones, any tips/help/advice would be highly appreciated! thanks in advance guys!

How to print a date in a regular format? This is my code:  import datetime today = datetime.date.today() print(today)   This prints: 2008-11-22 which is exactly what I want.  But, I have a list I'm appending this to and then suddenly everything goes "wonky".

In the submit function I am generating csv file and saving it to the files folder using fputcsv function.  But Now I need extra functionality of submit. After saving the file it should download the file also.  How to do this? Any one have some idea about this? , I shouldn't need to vote down or flag the answer, because the question itself is a dog.      Users should be allowed to also enable the "I'm done" button by down voting, close voting or flagging the question rather than directly taking action on the answer.    Currently, I have to click on the question's title, close or down vote it in the new tab, then go back to the review page, and click "Not sure" to continue on my adventure. Does anyone know the general strategy for summing a series of the form:  $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2 + a^2},$$  where $a$ is a positive integer?  Any hints or ideas would be great!
