He’s in the Dyson sphere now.

Link to Eastros is missing.

Thanks! Fixed

The next step might be to connect like-minded freelancers offline. Kind of Couchsurfing way.

Nope. It's more about educating users about some basic concepts of the OS.

A "research" with only 3 users? Meh.

UX designer here! Tailwind is great piece of work and I'd recommend it for validating MVPs and building new projects in general.

Reasons:

- Its constrains and whitespaces are well made, if kept untouched, the result may be good, even if build by dev with no design skills.

- Elements are containing what's necessary, but no more. No unnecessary tooltips etc.

- All elements have clear basic states (see https://tailwindui.com/components/application-ui/forms/input...)

I would recommend https://www.squarespace.com/ as he needs to focus on selling bikes, not Github / WP updates / responsivity / etc.

Why is Signal scoring so bad?

I stopped using Signal due to being bitten by the the issue where a friend uninstalled Signal without going through a special process and then I couldn't send messages to them without changing my message type from encrypted to unencrypted every time. See report/references here[0].

The scoring seems arbitrary/subjective.

It's just a yet another closed silo. Its score seems about right relative to other listed networks.

Do we have any valuable resources like this, but from 2018?

How about mp3 (or other) compression? Would not the information be lost?

I checked, it survives MP3 compression

the codecs in most lossy compression formats usually nuke the phase information so here in this example as ASK is being used there isnt any lost of information. If he tried to encode phase changes in the sound then you wouldnt recover it since the decoder regenerates the audio with 0 deg phase.

What do you mean by "nuke the phase information"?

Probably just that mp3 compression loses phase information? As it indeed does.

Can you elaborate? What specifically about mp3 compression causes the phase information to be lost? Clearly, if you simply take IDCT(DCT(s)) for some signal s, you don't lose phase information, because the DCT is invertible. So are you saying that quantization causes the phase information to be lost? If so, why do binaural recordings still work fine when compressed as mp3s, given that they depend heavily on phase differences between the sounds reaching each ear?

> If so, why do binaural recordings still work fine when compressed as mp3s, given that they depend heavily on phase differences between the sounds reaching each ear?

That's a very good point. If phase information is lost, low frequency stereo sound localization should indeed suffer.

Also discrete cosine transformation indeed keeps phase.

I guess mp3 shouldn't be losing phase information after all.
