Zip it
<p>You dealt with it. You may have wondered how it could possibly work.</p> <p>In this episode we do a deep dive on the zip format, what the idea is and how compression works.</p> <p><br></p> <p>A couple notes on the recording: I didn't want you to wait any longer, but unfortunately my voice was a little broken when I did the recording, so it gets weird in a few places. In addition I managed to record at too low a volume, so there are some issues with that.</p> <p>I promise to fix them for the next episode.</p>
