   I just tried all those demo queries in Google and it had similar output for all of them, except "MangoldtLambda[11]". Looks like that's a function specific to Wolfram. Bing couldn't answer "MangoldtLambda[11]"

    I haven't ran across websites that serves up HDR images, I am not sure I would notice the difference. WebP seems appropriately named and optimized for image delivery on the web. Maybe you are thinking of high bit depth for archival us

    Support for splitted archives, recovery records, and encryption. And pretty good compression ratio too. Maybe most archivers support these features today, but rar command line flags are in my muscle memory.
