Float Compression 9: Lzsse and Lizard
The bytedelta described in the blog is suboptimal and does might not work with other datasets.
Download icapp from https://github.com/powturbo/TurboPFor-Integer-Compression/re... and make your own tests with your data.

How do Games manage NPC schedules?
I use a fake database paired with compressed bits for flags and integer compression for various other traits. They follow a navigation guide similar to wind for foliage.

Quantile Compression: 35% higher compression ratio for numeric sequences than any other compressor
It could be nice to see a comparison against https://github.com/powturbo/TurboPFor-Integer-Compression !

q_compress 0.7: still has 35% higher compression ratio than .zstd.parquet for numerical sequences, now with delta encoding and 2x faster than before
I'm the author of TurboPFor-Integer-Compression. Q_compress is a very interresting project, unfortunatelly it's difficult to compare it to other algorithms. There is not binary or test data files (with q_compress results) available for a simple benchmark. Speed comparison would also be helpfull.

Allegro library website redirected to anti-Kotaku Nazi-related page
Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.

Self taught developers, what did you know when you started?
C, C++, Allegro, SDL, Some rudimentary SQL, Some basic BSD Sockets. But I also took some time to learn 3D math, trigonometry and linear algebra so I can include some basic 3D examples in my portfolio. I was later told that it was the 3D math that made the difference because if I (barely finished HS) can do that I can probably learn everything they give me.

Recourses to make games like they did in the 90s?
Wow, DJGPP and Allegro (still going!), that takes me back - that and Bloodshed IDE were my weapons of choice back then!

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast

Are there other examples of people who made games with their own engines like Minecraft ?
Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.

Where to start?
A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.
