It's time that tech giants recognize the true value of breakthrough compression algorithms.
You cannot continue lurking in compression groups without having correctly implemented a few algorithms yourself. These threads and posts are mostly written by professional and experienced programmers, so coding is easy for them. In my experience, you must prove your compression ideas correct by actually writing a compression and decompression program. Otherwise you're dreaming, and it will destroy your life.
Today's compression algorithms are mostly symbol or string-replacement algorithms. Your other method is different?
