FreeBasic source code
n1 = mid( bits , a , 8 )
v1 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 1 , 4 ) )
v2 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 5 , 4 ) )
if v2 <= 9 then
outs+= chr( ( v1 * 10 ) + v2 )
else
outs+= chr( ( v1 * 16 ) + v2 )
end if
Is there a way to tell if v2 <= 9 or >= 10??
If i divide by 10 or 16 would it reveal v2??
The formula along with Zlib , compresses 5.5% on loop one and can be recursed to get 90+% after 100 lops.

Wrong forum.
Read the paragraph at the top of this page.

That alone should already tell you that there is a fundamental issue.

You are using the wrong compression algorithm: just throw away all the zero bits - they mean "nothing" after all.

Back in the 80's we had a senior hardware engineer who devised this compression algorithm.
He insisted that decompression was "just an implementation detail" and "should be handled in software".
Strangely, we didn't use his method.

01000010 the answer to life and without 0s would be meaningless.

No, you'd have to find the modulus of 10 or 16 to get v2. But you have no way of knowing which one to use (except for a few values listed below).
e.g. if you have asc(outs) = 31,
using mod 10: v2 = 31 mod 10 = 1, v1 = 31 / 10 = 3; so original bits = 00110001 = 49
using mod 16: v2 = 31 mod 16 = 15, v1 = 31 / 16 = 1; so original bits = 00011111 = 33
Decoding numbers 0 to 9 can only have v2 <= 9
Decoding numbers 10 to 159 are ambiguous (as demonstrated for 31, above)
Decoding numbers 170 to 175, 186 to 191, 202 to 207, 218 to 223, 234 to 239, 250 to 255 can only have v2 >= 10
Decoding numbers 160 to 169, 176 to 185, 192 to 201, 208 to 217, 224 to 233, 240 to 249 is an error as they cannot occur with the algorithm

If you move your mouse really really fast, like at the speed of light, time (and thus dates) are compressed (or expanded, depending upon your point of view).

After about 5 months now I finally did something to crash Visual Studio. I am truly amazed it took so long.
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

I have been working with Visual Studio since the beginning and have never once crashed it, ever. It has done weird and annoying things over the years, but never a crash.
Kudos to you.

I have it crash or lock up once per week, on average. Maybe I just beat on it too hard. Obviously harder than it likes.
The update before the last one was absolutely horrendous. One of the worst I can remember. Top three anyway. The latest one seems to have straightened most things out. Find in Files is usable again, at least, and that is very welcome.

I work with VS 2019 8-10 hours a day have no clue what you are talking about.
WTF are you guys doing with VS that crashes once per week? Not one update has been bad for me.

Read a few other posts. I am not particularly unique.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It crashes on me at least a couple of times a week. Full Total Existence Failure type crash. Just disappears and then sheepishly restarts.

My LG TV often does that just when I start to stream a program. It especially does not like my watching Expanse!

When I say crash I mean the VS stops responding and never comes back. It also will not totally close. The only way to recover is to Restart. However, just to make sure I shutoff power and then power back on. That way I make sure and dump any memory on all the supporting chips. Not as much of a problem now as it used to be but I am overly cautious.
Come to think of it I have not had the fade, sheepishly restarts either. I know what you are talking about. Wow, that is a long time without these either.
