Aperture problem


The motion of a homogeneous contour is locally ambiguous. This is so because a motion sensor has a finite receptive field: it "looks" at the world through something like an aperture (Hildreth, 1984,1987). Within that aperture, different physical motions are indistinguishable.

Damn good way to speed up Mail


1. Quit Mail.

2. Open Terminal.

3. Type the following:

cd ~/Library/Mail
sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
sqlite> vacuum subjects;

Restart Mail and enjoy the extra speed.
