CLI tools at Aha!
As we make updates to our ops and similar CLI utilities, we often improve the user experience by taking advantage of various Ruby gems. With little effort compared to low-level coding with curses, our command-line utilities that used to be cryptic and confusing are now interactive, easy to use, and — dare I say — elegant.

Ok y’all. How can we get this kind of real-time memory profiling in Ruby? Does it already exist? Is anyone working on this?
As a follow up, if anyone is interested in working on something like this, Ruby has an official curses gem supporting the curses family of libraries.

Parallel progress output from different threads
First, a word of caution. "Updating" a terminal or console is possible, but it is rife with gotchas and inconsistencies. The go to library/application for this type of interfaces is Curses. There are Ruby bindings, but this injects a system dependency that may or may not be available on a given platform. Also, Curses is way overkill if all you're doing is output.

GDB on Windows 10, no TUI at all?
I use GDB with openocd on ubuntu system to debug a Samd51 MCU using jlink. it's working good until when I lay next and look at the source code in graphical terminal, so if I scroll in TUI source code, GDB crashed and start printing in weird way(not sure if it's GDB It's might be the ubuntu terminal not liking it). So I decided to use it on windows with the jlink GDB server app, But the issue no is I can't use the TUI interface in windows terminal, and it says not supported, while some people on the internet talking about a missing curses lib. from pdcurses.org on windows that's why not working. any one having any idea on how to make the TUI works?

I can't include external libraries to my mingw installation
Since ncurses doesn't support Windows, you need PDCurses instead. After extracting the source tarball, cd into wincon/ and run make, which produces pdcurses.a static library. You'll need that library and curses.h from the project root.

nnn uses the ncurses library. Someone has to compile it with PDCurses to work natively in cmd: https://pdcurses.org/

Something faster than printf?
On Windows you might need to use a shim layer (https://pdcurses.org/). However that actually creates an SDL based window and prints characters there.
