One of the Audacity use cases lists functions that would be useful when transcribing recordings.  I’ve investigated what is required to implement these features, and while it’s more complicated than I might have hoped, it doesn’t appear to be insurmountable.  Looping play repeats the initially selected section until stopped; however the selected region can be changed without affecting the looping region.  Similarly, it seems apparent that dynamic changes to the looping region should not change the current selection.  Therefore, none of the current “change selection” code can be re-used.

Triangular trade
It's hard to find examples that don't involve the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

In some respects, the pattern of trade between Australia, China and the United States fits the triangular trade story neatly. Australia exports lots of raw materials to China, which in turn exports a wide range of manufactures to the US, which exports high-tech goods and services to Australia. Much the same story is true, with other Asian countries such as Japan in place of China.

We now study a triangular trade system of three countries (A, B, C) and three goods (fish c, wine w, and soybean s).
(It isn't specified if this example is based on any real-world situation.)

A TTS has formed among these three regions. Japan/NIEs produce parts through high-technology, capital-intensive processes and export them to China and ASEAN. China and ASEAN, in turn, assemble such parts into final goods, capital goods or consumption goods, and export them to final markets such as the U.S. and EU, which consume such goods. Moreover, trade value in TTS has increased ((intermediate goods exports of Japan/NIEs to China/ASEAN) + (final goods exports of China/ASEAN to U.S./EU)). The share of TTS in total trade value has also more than doubled. Therefore, TTS has been strengthened.
(No mention is made of what the US exports to Japan.)

This post will record my initial findings as I investigate modifications to Audacity to support some common use-cases. In particular, I’m interested in implementing the first bullet point of the section “Books on tape, field recordings, etc.”, and also all of the bullets listed under ” Looping and Dictation Aids”. All of these involve handling short-cut keys during the playing of an audio stream.

Normally, my wife cooks all of the meals in our household, but a couple of times a month she takes some or all of the kids and spends a few days visiting her parents.  At those times, I’m able to release my inner chef and try cooking something that I’ve never made before.  So it shouldn’t be a surprise to hear that, a while back, I decided to try my hand at making hummus.  I bought a can of chick-peas, tossed it into the back of the pantry, and forgot about it until tonight.

Over at Trevors Trinkets, there’s an interesting bit about chording keyboards that made the front page at Slashdot. Chording keyboards are nothing new (Douglas Engelbart invented one for use with his other invention), but Trevor seems to have come up with the idea independently. Or at least he has some fresh twists on the idea. (more…)
