- verytrivial 4y agoI read it as three quarters of a Daft Punk reference (only). There is no shortage of compression tools that are better in this or that. At the very least this is a fun engineering exercise, but there is always a massive inertia propblem regarding install base with compression, esp. for data-at-rest. gzip is still used by default in so many contexts, and that's not such a bad thing IMHO.
- palaiologos 4y agoit's fairly common, at least in the circles i usually dwell in, to call compression ratio "compression _strength_". bzip3 is _better_ than bzip2 since it uses a better technological model as outlined in one of my replies.
