Is there Python Class instance have an attribute to get the class name?
Getting the class name of an instance?
How do I change the default session for when using auto-logins? When autologon is active, lightdm will start the Unity 3D session, not the 2D (or any other shell that I want to auto-login to).  Is there a way to start the shell I want automatically (autologon)?  Anyway, if autologon is disabled, the last used session is launched, and that's fine. I just want to choose which is default with autologon. What is an example of pairwise independent random variables which are not independent? I've just read in a stochastics textbook:     Let $(\Omega, P)$ be a discrete probability space.      (a) The events $A_i \subseteq \Omega, i=1,2, \dots$ are called independent, if   $$P(A_{i_1} \cap A_{i_2} \cap \dots \cap A_{i_k}) = P(A_{i_1}) \cdot \dots \cdot A_{i_k}$$   for all finite sets $\{i_1, \dots, i_k\} \subsetneq \{1,2, \dots\}$ and all $k \geq 2$.      (b) The events $A_i \subseteq \Omega, i=1,2,\dots$ are called pairwise independent, if   $$P(A_{i_1} \cap A_{i_2}) = P(A_{i_1}) \cdot P(A_{i_2})$$   for all pairs $\{i_1, i_2\} \subsetneq \{1,2,\dots\}$.   After these two definitions it states that pairwise independent events are not always independent.  Do you have an example? Distance between surfaces I found "A sledgehammer to crack a nut" as one example. What are some others? top command in cygwin? I am starting to use Cygwin(64) on my Windows 8 laptop, however, the top command is not recognized. I have read online that I need to get the procps package, but it is not available on the 'Cygwin Setup' package selections. How should I go about installing the procps package so that I can use top?  ps. for whatever reason ps and kill both work so I would think top would be included in whatever package allowed those guys to work, but there is no top command. Is there any way to bring an egg to its natural state (not boiled) after you cook it? This is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious now after I opened the refrigerator looking for eggs to make a cake and there was only one and it was cooked. Is there any way to undo that, whether at home or an industrial way? HTML favicon won't show on google chrome Is it safe to use the command apt-get autoremove in this particular scenario? Should smilies be turned into images in questions and answers? A lot of mention has been made of the seriousness of Stack Overflow (and presumably Server Fault). Would it be a good idea to turn  :-) into actual images as per  in questions and answers? What Happens to electrons after Alpha Decay and Nuclear Fission? Where do the electrons go? In alpha decay do 2 electrons follow the alpha particle and make stable Helium or does the larger daughter nucleus become an anion?  Also what do the electrons do in the mixture of fission and alpha decay? With Beryllium-8 it decays into two alpha particles and 4 lonely electrons or do you get two Helium atoms?If someone could add an entry to Holocron it would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Calculating the area of an irregular polygon Given the length of the sides of an irregular polygon (no coordinates provided) how do you compute the area of the maximum area of the polygon?   Thanks in advance Retagging questions in terms of possible answer technologies Does Kylo not know the fate of Darth Vader? It seems Kylo has an obsession of Darth Vader and has an interest in the dark side because of it.   Does he not realize that Darth Vader turned good and helped destroy the Empire (Spoilers?)? I feel like Kylo would've seen how much better the Light Side was as it was able to turn Vader from the Dark Side if he had known this. I was just wondering why Fresnel Lenses are not widely used in the production of solar electricity. Their use there would mean that you could produce heat within a fraction of a second, up to a few minutes and run a turbine to produce electricity.  Though it is used in welding, I am not sure what are the problems in producing electricity, as stated by :     New applications have appeared in solar energy, where Fresnel lenses can concentrate sunlight (with a ratio of almost 500:1) onto solar cells. If $a,b$ are the roots of the equation $2 x^2 -3 x +1 = 0$, find an equation whose roots are $a/(2b +3)$, $b/(2a +3)$ If $a,b$ are the roots of the equation $2 x^2 -3 x +1 = 0$, find an equation whose roots are $a/(2b +3)$, $b/(2a +3)$   I was practicing quadratic equation questions online but I am stuck on this question.  I found the values of roots $a= 1$, $b= 1/2$ How can I put a bit mask on /dev/zero so that I can get bytes other than zero? How can I put a bit mask on /dev/zero so that I can have a source not only for 0x00 but also for any byte between 0x01 and 0xFF? Where do I get the key for the first house? I've 'completed' the game, but didn't find the key for the first house. (I got the one for the arcade machine house). Where can I find it? Given the sentence:     Most people who live and work near Washington, DC, would have trouble      imagining dinosaurs walking around the area.   Grammatically, what would ‘imaging’ be called in this case? Present participle or gerund or something?  I mean, if it is a present participle, ‘imagining~’ might be a description of the subject. And if it is a gerund, ‘imagining~’ might be an object of the verb phrase of ‘have trouble’. How do they explain this ‘imagining’ after ‘have trouble’? What do I do if I don't have a META-INF folder or minecraft.jar? I have looked all over the Internet for solutions but I have got nothing.  I want to install the minepainter mod but I need a META-INF folder and a minecraft.jar. Show that $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{R}} = U_{e} \oplus U_{o}$ A function $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called even if $f(-x) = f(x)$ $ \forall x \in \mathbb{R}  $   A function $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called odd if $f(-x) = -f(x)$ $ \forall x \in \mathbb{R}  $   Let $U_{e}$ denote the set of real-valued even functions on $\mathbb{R}$ and let $U_{o}$ denote the set of real valued odd functions on $\mathbb{R}$.   Show that $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{R}} = U_{e} \oplus U_{o}$   This question from Q24 of "Linear Algebra Done Right" 3rd Edition - Chp 1.4 (Subspaces). The author of the book does minimal work with functions during the chapter. I have no idea how to approach the question.
