Using sox CLI tool to gather metrics on ambient volume in room

Running this on OSX, so need to install sox first:

brew install sox

Then paste this file somewhere, and run it in the background with:

bash monitor-audio-levels.sh

As of right now, it only add a character to /tmp/threshold-tally.txt for every 5-second interval where volume exceeds the arbitrary "3" threshold. Would be really useful to timestamp each, and convert to JSON that we can send to a custom leftronic.com dashboard widget, and get a rough idea of how much of the day a room's volume exceeds a given threshold.

A ZSH theme optimized for people who use:

  • Solarized
  • Git
  • Unicode-compatible fonts and terminals (I use iTerm2 + Menlo)

For Mac users, I highly recommend iTerm 2 + Solarized Dark

Paul Heckel's Diff Algorithm

[Isolating Differences Between Files][paper]

Advantage over Other Algorithms

The diff output is more specific:

[I]f a whole block of text is moved, then all of it, rather than just the beginning and end, is detected as changed.

>The algorithm described here avoids these difficulties. It detects differences that correspond very closely to our intuitive notion of difference.

Git, Compression, and Deltas - An explanation

Git Compression of Blobs and Packfiles.

Many users of Git are curious about the lack of delta compression at the object (blob) level when commits are first written. This efficiency is saved until the pack file is written. Loose objects are written in compressed, but non-delta format at the time of each commit.

A simple run though of a commit sequence with only the smallest change to the image (in uncompressed TIFF format to amplify the observable behavior) aids the understanding of this deferred and different approach efficiency.

The command sequence:

Create the repo:
