Using trigonometric functions in R

R uses radiant as input for trigonometric functions.

Now we can plot the function.

And by playing with the functions we get a funny graphic output.


And if we include the tangent, the graphic looks like this:

 

Audio file conversion with afconvert (mac)

I was looking for a simple and elegant way to convert a high amount of audio files from one format (.caf) to another (.aif). The solution i found is a very elegant one and also comes included with your operating system – if using a MAC.

And now here is the most amazing part. It is super easy to execute the conversion of multiple files by just one command line.

or to run through subdirectories:

or with recursion by using find:
