You can get send as if you use Google Sync (gmail over exchange instead of imap) and enable the send as setting in their control panel.
You can also do it over IMAP by copying and pasting a comma into the account field and adding another email address, I think. You may also have to use the SMTP server with alternate credentials.
No, the problem is with x86-64, which apparently doesn't use `rep movsl`; as far as I can tell, GCC's x86-64 backend assumes that SSE will be available, and so only has a SSE inline memcpy. However, in the kernel SSE is not available (as SSE registers aren't saved normally, to save time), so this is disabled. With no non-SSE fallback (such as `rep movsl` on x86), gcc falls back to a function call, with the performance impact this implies.

I'm 33 and a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my neck from spending many years hunched over looking at things. I am extremely near-sighted (legally blind, actually) and that's the only way I can see to do... well, pretty much anything.

I do a lot of stretching exercises now and have a ridiculously expensive pillow, which both help a great deal. I'd recommend them to people who do a lot of desk work.

South Korean banks seem to be oblivious to security research and best practices. ActiveX plugins that install several buggy DLL libraries are only the tip of the iceberg. 64-bit IE fails to open most banks' websites. IE 9 does not work at all. I was even sent a codebook (it has a list of colour-coded numbers which hash to codes, on paper!) by my South Korean bank for internet banking. I thought it was a somewhat archaic practice but physical books of codes do constitute "something you have" for authentication. Then I discovered that my partner had the same book. I disabled internet banking after that.

Google's tips to stay safe online
It doesn't imply it theoretically, but Apple hasn't pointed out a way that scripting is going to be a part of their ecosystem. Apple Events -are- going away. XPC doesn't work like that. What's left?

They could theoretically introduce a newer and better way to do this... Apple Events were far from... well far from usable actually in most cases... but I've seen amazing things built on them. The thought of easy public inter-application communication and automation going away makes me uneasy.

Imagine if Twitter, Facebook, or Google decided to kill all their APIs some time next year... This is like that on a more personal scale.
Seems that Google has some QA issue for making series of similar mistakes. Appaling from a hugh company. I guess their app development process is similar to their web development, where for web any error can be quickly fix without much fanfare. Too bad they couldn't or did not stick a "beta" label onto their native apps.
Siri is pretty good, but in my opinion there are few cases where it's really that much faster than using the touch gestures. It takes a surprising long time for Siri to respond since it has to contact Apple servers for every request. For example, I can set a 3-min tea timer using the touch UI faster than asking Siri to do it for me.

Also keep in mind that Siri is terrible in any kind of noisy environment, especially with other people talking.

I will say that Siri excels at playing specific songs, artists, albums, etc. It's much faster than using the touch UI. Siri is also good for when you don't have your hands free.

Overall, Siri is pretty amazing but it hasn't fundamentally changed the way I use my iPhone 4s. I will say the iPhone 4s is ridiculously fast and smooth, although I upgraded from an iPhone 3G so YMMV.

Stuff I can think of off the top of my head:

It's easier on the fingers. You can move around using jkl, perform clipboard operations,deletions and other text operations generally without having your fingers leave the main keyboard area to reach for the modifier keys or arrows.

It works especially well if you remap Caps to Escape.

It's logical: dd deletes a line. 10dd deletes 10 lines.

f+ moves the cursor to forward to the next '+' character on the line.
2f+ does it twice - moves the cursor to the second '+' on the line.

df+ delete from the current position to the first + character.

Commands are chainable:
d2f+ deletes from the current position to the second '+' on the line.

In general when you have modal UIs (not specific to text editing) it makes it easier to accomplish work as you're working in a 'mode' that is specific to your task. When in insert-mode, your keyboard is used to insert text. In editing-mode[1] your keyboard's functionality is now used for the sole purpose of making edits and manipulating existing text. In visual-mode, the keys provide functionality to easily highlight and manipulate highlighted text.

That said - modal editing does have its drawbacks. There's a higher learning curve. And the lock-in thing I mentioned isn't necessarily a good thing. Non-modal editors can reasonably emulate each other's keybindings allowing you to easily shift between, say, Sublime and Textmate and Visual Studio. But good luck doing any of that with Vim thrown in. Also, Vim users have to still learn a reasonable amount of emacs keybindings in order to efficiently use the command line and native text fields on Linux/MacOSX.

Also as someone joked recently - Vim has 2 modes:

1) Beep at me
2) Destroy all my text

If an attacker is in a position to make malicious modifications 1) You've got a larger problem than optional language features on your hand and 2) locking down a few properties (or the entire object) isn't going to save you.
It's getting too late for me to think about statistics :) A few points:

Similarly, imagine a study of coins which had a stopping rule to stop whenever you have at least 60% heads. You'll always be able to get that result and conclude the coin is biased, even if all coins used are fair.

This is not true. Because of the law of large numbers, the probability of ever reaching the 60% decreases with time.

I do think the one that says "If I get one conclusion, stop. If I get the other, keep trying," has got to be a bad idea!

I understand what you're talking about. I see the potential for a problem. But my understanding is that Bayesian statistics isn't subject to that.

Proper Bayesian result reporting doesn't say "We believe that the coin is biased". We would rather say "The probability that this coin is biased is 60%, subject to our assumptions and model".

My feeling is that this statement is true:

If the model and assumptions are correct, then the Bayesian outcome will be true regardless of the stopping rule.

In this case: 60% of coins for which the Bayesian analyst proclaims P(biased)=0.6 WILL be biased (barring sampling variations). The stopping rule doesn't matter.

I'll try and figure out a solid explanation by tomorrow.
And the site looks pretty too... :)

How to Run a Disastrous Email Marketing Campaign
Because they own the POS. You can theoretically have multiple apps installed on your phone but a store is only going to be running one piece of POS software. Because Square got a toehold into the POS market, they can leverage this for network effects. Stores are going to want the POS with the most users installed, users are going to want the card case accepted by the most POS systems.
Sometime shitwork can be a very good way to find new possibilities. A lot of people do shitwork that's immensely useful, like editors on Wikipedia, moderators on reddit and forums, people who enter all the data into imdb. I don't see how those people could be replaced by algorithms with what we know now.

Sometime shitwork needs to be done because you can't simplify. I'm doubtful that Facebook's auto-group feature would work for me. Maybe me doing shitwork on Google+ is what work for me, because I value my freedom to control my information online.
github wikipedia fork using GURL, a gist for a url 
* GURL
a variation on the gist concept.
Just adds a url to the other 3 items on the gist form:
1. url
2. name
3. description
4. content

Then, the next time some creates a gist with the same url, or forks your gist, they both become part of the same network graph.

You could put some validation on the name or the url to prevent abuse, but all allowed wikipedia pages should probably be legal urls...

This would be a super easy way to fork the wikipedia on github.

https://github.com/tinku99/gurl

Github probably dwarfs wikipedia in terms of the amount of data they store.
So scalability is probably not a show stopper. And gollum already supports mediawiki formatting.

Although there is a proposal for a distributed wikipedia: http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Distributed_Wiki... I don't think the existing wikipedia is going to disrupt itself like this. It has to come from outside.

I think this would finally fork the deletionists into irrelevance.

This way, we don't have to deal with parsing the mediawiki content / templates...
We also don't have to worry about github taking responsibility for auto translation of problematic content from wikipedia. There won't be any auto translation.
As a fan of Apple, I see people seeming to forget the antenna issue from the iPhone 4, and the current battery issue with the iphone 4s.

This does look interesting, but TBH, I don't think its the end of credit cards per-se. One main reason:

What if my phone's battery is dead ? Does that mean I can't buy anything ? What happens in an emergency ? Credit cards are easy as they're quite low tech physically (a magnetic strip, a chip and some plastic).

Other things would be stuff like: not everyone has a phone, but would still like a credit card, etc. There are countries where phone penetration (and not even smart phone) is not very high, but the population still need to have credit cards.

Granted, I can see it being used as an alternative, but doubt it will be the "end of credit cards"

Braintree Payments library for iOS
For another project, I wrote a library that talks to Braintree Payments from iOS. It sends credit card data directly to Braintree from the iPhone (or iPad). It returns a token that you can then use to charge the card. This helps tremendously with PCI compliance, because you don't have to have the credit card data on your own server.

I'm trying to find out if it's worth the effort to split it out and make it available for download. If you are interested, please leave your email address at http://www.pinpointpayments.com. If I get enough feedback, I'll do it.

I disagree: The GPL allows those smaller software houses to use the id engine without giving away their game resources. After all, id doesn't give away Q3 just because it gives away the Q3 engine.

As the game resources are what the players mostly associate with the game, you can still make and sell your own game based on a GPL'd engine without the GPL really cutting into your profits.

Back when I was working for the newspaper industry 3rd party scripts where a constant headache. Due to some severe limitations of the CMS the company used, we where relying on a devil's brew of vendor-supplied js to drive forums, commenting, mail-a-friend and blogging.

This was in addition to all of the script pulled in from ad networks, inline crap that was shoehorned in by a newspapers' own developers, all of our in-house stuff, various frameworks with the usual add-on libraries, analytics, maps....imagine if you will 16 meg page weights on a site with minimal graphics.

Needless to say this rolling clusterfuck of 3rd party javascript meant that at least twice a week a site would go haywire when some random code snippet from an ad network stomped all over one or more critical variables for the commenting system, or analytics would run off into the bushes for no readily discernable reason, you get the idea.

The Solution: aggressively namespace all of the mission-critical scripts we controlled and go heavy on encapsulation. Sure, this lead to god object code smells, but it cut way down on javascript-related site outages.

You're stuck in frequentist thinking. "Bias" is a property of repeated sampling -- the expectation over repeated samples. But we just have one! The relevant question is what is your best guess for p, the probability the coin will be heads.

Under a uniform prior [0, 1] the posterior mean is the empirical mean. How you sample is of no consequence. The likelihood/posterior f(p|#heads, #tails) is p^(#heads)(1-p)^(#tails) regardless of how you sample. Differentiate with respect to p and you get p*=heads/total.

It is rather amusing that most statistics professors are happy to have taught their students that the sampling procedures matter while at he same time crushing the natural intuition that your decisions should be based on the data you observe not on what might have happened in a world that doesn't exist.

If there is a switch then there’s no problem. There would be no social battle. (Some people would be annoyed but that’s about it.)

I can absolutely see Apple adding such a switch and activating it by default. It wouldn’t be a big deal. (Well, I think Apple technically already added that switch. As far as I know Parental Controls can be set up in a way to only allow apps from the App Store.)
