Some Cool Terminal Things I've Found Recently
- Neil Macy tl;dr: “I had the morning off work today. So I did what anyone would do, and started playing around with my Terminal setup. There are some things that have bugged me for a while, and some things that I've meant to try out for a while, and this seemed like a good chance to play around.”featured in #603

What's Involved In Getting A “Modern" Terminal Setup?
- Julia Evans tl;dr: “There are so many pieces to having a modern terminal experience. I wish it all came out of the box. My immediate reaction was “oh, getting a modern terminal experience isn’t that hard, you just need to….”, but the more I thought about it, the longer the “you just need to…” list got, and I kept thinking about more and more caveats. So I thought I would write down some notes about what it means to me personally to have a “modern” terminal experience and what I think can make it hard for people to get there.”featured in #581
"Rules" That Terminal Programs Follow
- Julia Evans tl;dr: “It’s very useful for me to know what behaviour to expect from a random new terminal program that I’m using. Instead of “uh, programs could do literally anything”, it’s “ok, here are the basic rules I expect, and then I can keep a short mental list of exceptions”. I’m just writing down what I’ve observed about how programs behave in my 20 years of using the terminal, why I think they behave that way, and some examples of cases where that rule is “broken”.”featured in #574
Why Pipes Sometimes Get “Stuck": Buffering
- Julia Evans tl;dr: “The reason why “pipes get stuck” sometimes is that it’s VERY common for programs to buffer their output before writing it to a pipe or file. So the pipe is working fine, the problem is that the program never even wrote the data to the pipe!”featured in #571
