S1:E2 - "What is encoding?"

Binary is great for computers, but really tough for humans to work with. We need something that's a bit easier for us. That's where encoding comes in. Vaidehi and Saron explore how encoding works and talk through some popular encoding schemes like ASCII, unicode, and base64. Check out the ASCII table here. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Hexes and Other Magical Numbers". We're on Patreon! If you like the show and want to support our work, become a patron here.
