The article discusses a method for compressing a boolean flag into 11 bits, focusing on efficient data encoding techniques.
Base84 is a new encoding scheme for filesystem-safe file names, providing portable and efficient encoding across Unix, macOS, and Windows with improved bit packing compared to alternatives like Base64 or Base91.
Sing-song is a reversible encoding scheme that converts byte strings into pronounceable syllables, designed for speakability and transcribability while remaining deterministic and prefix-stable.
The author introduces their self-made link compressor Hammer, which doesn't rely on a database and can encode full links into short links via compression, making the generated QR codes easier to scan. This is an experimental project achieved through techniques such as removing redundancy, selecting an appropriate alphabet, and Huffman compression.
A technical article presenting an encoding for existential types in Haskell using linear functions and unsafeCoerce, enabling 'naked' existentials without GADT wrappers, and demonstrating it with a safe variant of the lens combinator unsafePartsOf.
A technical guide for fixing UTF-8 email encoding issues from cron on OpenBSD by creating a sendmail wrapper that encodes non-ASCII headers and adds Content-Type declarations before handing messages to dma.
This paper investigates how to encode factored planning tasks (FTS) into SAT, proposing multiple encoding strategies and analyzing the impact of task transformations on SAT-based planning performance. It aims to extend SAT solving to more compact planning representations beyond heuristic search.
bijou64 is a new variable-length integer encoding that ensures canonical representation, solving signature-verification bugs, and also runs several times faster than the common LEB128 encoding.
Explains that when using Unicode escape sequences (like \x2019) in Windows resource strings, you must prefix the string with L to make it a wide-character string; otherwise the escape is misinterpreted as an 8-bit sequence.
