Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Martin Loncaric's blog posts on quantile compression for numerical data, which HN readers link as a fuller explanation of the Q_compress lossless compressor than the linked project page.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionI made this open source compression algorithm as part of a database I'm creating. It typically compresses columns of numerical data to ~25% smaller than alternatives (think .snappy.parquet or .gzip.parquet) at similar or cheaper compute cost. It decompresses 15-100 million 64-bit numbers per second on a single i5 CPU per second. I also made a blog post that introduces the idea more from the math perspective: https:/…
