Yes, bzip3 compresses that 1GB text file into 170 MB while zstd needs 213 MB (SI units, from my own tests with the "enwik9" file of the GP's page, and the latest releases of both programs, same commands). But the decompressio

Maybe in Japan it will be effective. Since their "zone 30" creation was apparently a success, it seems probable that people will generally comply. My experience in France differs. I live in a French town where the default speed li

Do you realise that almost no one can understand what you're alluding to? So the comment looks not only vindicative but also stupid. Just a reminder that may be relevant to your gripe: allowing free speech is perfectly compatible with

The average American voter does think the USA play a positive role for the world, while the average non-American think otherwise. In details, a 2026 study from the Pew Research Center states that: - 57% of A. think the USA contribute to pea

No, that implication is not automatic. The Babylonian numeral system evolved over milenaries, and the simple space noting the absence of a digit between two digits was later noted by a "0" digit. But this symbol was never used by

I'm sorry, but I can't understand how AFL++ could be applied to the Gleam case. The main presentation of the tool lacks any description of its coverage, but from deep inside the documentation[^1] I gather that AFL++ is only releva

I'm surprised. The stolen data had two parts: some relevant to the income taxes paid, some detailing the real estate (houses and lands) owned by the household. Are both of them public in Norway? Anyway, the main problem is that the bre

The post is verbose, but lacks substance: - The last two sections (≈20% of the article, 5.Cloud and 6.IA) are barely relevant. - Some comparisons are questionable. It claims that, since some taxes data was compromised, the trust in the nati
