Floating-Point Error Handling in C++: What Actually Works https://lobste.rs/s/uw6wmo #c++ #programming

Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!

I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?

Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.

My Current Favorites:

To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:

uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.

What about you?

What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

Development of my personal FreeBSD installer keeps moving forward!

Lots of new ideas and features are currently in the works: the out-of-the-box GUI experience, completion of the Simple and Expert installation modes, automatic hardware detection and configuration (now also GPU support as well).

I'll be publishing a new blog post soon with more details. Stay tuned! 😄
