Hellishly Slow Level 13 Deflate Compression
Abstract DEFLATE level 13 is a deliberately impractical libdeflate compression level: the output remains standard DEFLATE, while the encoder spends far more time searching parse, Huffman, and block split choices. On Silesia it saves 86’990 bytes, 0.134%, over level 12 and runs 56.4x slower; this cost is acceptable only when data is compressed once and […]

Blogger defeats photographer’s copyright claim
I’m blogging this case only because it’s one of those “what are we even doing here?” lawsuits. Cases like this belong in the CCB or, better yet, should not be brought at all! * * * The case involves a photo called the “Parker Train Photo.” It was taken in 1962, but it was first […]
