55 GiB/s FizzBuzz (2021)
Neat tricks. Beyond BufWriter (which I'm already using) and multthreading, I'm guessing there's not much to be done to improve my "frece" (a simple CLI frecency-indexed database) tool's performance without making it overly complicated. https://github.com/YodaEmbedding/frece/blob/master/src/main....

Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux.

ScratchPad terminal doesnt load settings from zshrc/zpreztorc
tdrop is de/wm agnostic and can make most terminals a drop down terminal.

2-minute Tmux Tour
I've been using tdrop for about a year and not knowing how to get rid of the green bar it put at the bottom. Well, now that's fixed and I've learned to use tmux to switch between newsboat, cmus, lf, etc. -TY!

No, seriously, drop-downs like yakuake have saved me countless minutes.
You can also use tdrop to turn any terminal into a dropdown terminal

Using a drop-down terminal (with tdrop) doesn't play well with activities. Any solution?
So it's pretty clear what happens and why. I'm using tdrop, a little tool that allows you to use any terminal emulator as a drop-down terminal/scratchpad. Calling tdrop terminal with some parameters will show a terminal window, calling it again will hide it. I've bound this to a key, let's say HOTKEY.
