Woah! I didn't even notice it was him. Most of the accepted answers relating to anything Deflate are by him on Stack Overflow, so I shouldn't be surprised.

For anyone looking to write their own Deflate/Gzip/Zlib, I would recommend looking at the little program called `infgen`: > infgen is a deflate stream disassembler. It will read a gzip, zlib, or raw deflate stream, and output a

It's funny, just earlier today I decided to pick up my Deflate project again (for the fourth time), and I was reading up on the odd ordering stuff and struggling.

Exactly. There are topics I could talk about with authority, but that pool would dry up pretty quickly at this point.

That's a good call, you're right. Below is what I put for the last "Who's Hiring" post: Location: Ottawa, ON, Canada Remote: Yes (remote or local) Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, Lua, C, Zig.

I had looked at a few a while back. A lot of the work seemed to be grabbed for cents on the dollar by people overseas, but I will look into this again.

I would certainly like to do more technology videos / tutorials on YouTube. It might help with my resume situation, but I imagine it's unlikely to become anything resembling a stable income without quite a few years of input.

OP here. As an aside, I feel like I tick a lot of boxes in the bottom section of this comic (I know it's a meme, but perhaps still relevant somehow), but perhaps I do worst when HR is looking for schooling, etc. http://steve

Ask HN: I can program, but have nothing to show for it. Where do I go from here?

A family member visited recently and talked about family drama and how she doesn't want to be a part of it. I realized how I had went years without hearing anything about these parts of the family, and that I was being exposed to the d

This reminds me of an interesting problem. In oral speech, I frequently say "wouldn't've" and "couldn't've", but in text form both look completely asinine and aren't generally even recognized by

I agree. If I join a Discord group with dozens of channels, more likely than not, I'll forget about it and eventually leave. IRC did well with one or a handful of channels for each topic (maybe #topic, #topic-dev, #topic-botspam). >

Hi dang, I have a question about this. A while back I posted "Code Checking Automation [video]", but I couldn't help but feel the original title was quite vague. The video itself is about QuickCheck and more specifically, pro

I was excited for it but it sets both of my computers on fire and glitches out a ton.

After listening to the JSON episode, I've been spending the last few days coding up a SIMD implementation of LZ77 substring matching, for use in DEFLATE. I used Zig, which has first-class SIMD support. As in, no need to go down to the

I find these optimizations fascinating. Anyone familiar with Lemire likely knows about this, but I listened to a podcast episode[1] with him a few days ago and learned about `simdjson`, the tool he authored that parses JSON at 25x the speed

I love Python and OpenBSD. I've been using `pyopenbsd` [1] to access pledge/unveil in some chat bots. They may not be the most well-coded, secure, or stable bots, but having a one- [2] to three-line [3] change to harden them so mu

Relatedly, I was looking at Zlib's source today and realized they still use old, 70s-style function declarations: int ZEXPORT compress2 (dest, destLen, source, sourceLen, level) Bytef *dest; uLongf *destLen;

I found the article after trying to pick up my DEFLATE project again. I quit 6 months ago after trying endlessly to understand package-merge, so I'm glad this was written in the meantime. I posted some (slightly mistaken) comments at t
