Now April is with us I thought It's about time I shared an idea for a new compression scheme I've been thinking about. In short, it converts all files into ~16 bytes of data. Here's how it works:
for bit in file:
if bit is ON:
on += 1
else:
off += 1
output "{on},{off}".
Here's how it looks:
Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven: 37810200, 39509240
Stephen Merchant Standup: 283554505, 314875207
Genesis More Fool Me: 14985253, 15456251
In fact. Here's the whole album:
Selling England by the pound: 119882024, 316167032
It's quite lossy, but it allows you to send most files in a single tweet. You could even send the extended version of the Lord of the Rings.
