Hyperfine: A command-line benchmarking tool
Perhaps interesting (for some) to note that hyperfine is from the same author as at least a few other "ne{w,xt} generation" command line tools (that could maybe be seen as part of "rewrite it in Rust", but I don't want to paint the author with a brush they disagree with!!): fd (find alternative; https://github.com/sharkdp/fd), bat ("supercharged version of the cat command"; https://github.com/sharkdp/bat), and hexyl (hex viewer; https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl). (And certainly others I've missed!)
Pointing this out because I myself appreciate comments that do this.
For myself, `fd` is the one most incorporated into my own "toolbox" -- used it this morning prior to seeing this thread on hyperfine! So, thanks for all that, sharkdp if you're reading!
Ok, end OT-ness.

Fzf advanced integration in Powershell
If you want to integrate fzf with rg, fd, bat to fuzzy find files, directories or ripgrep the content of a file and preview using bat, but the fzf document only has commands for Linux shell (bash,...), and you want to achieve that on your Windows Machine using Powershell, this post may be for you.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing jump and bat you can also consider the following projects:
cargo-packager - Rust executable packager, bundler and updater.
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
delta - A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, grep, and blame output
zoxide - A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.
