Apropos of nothing: does country of origin (or is it residence; or residence of the main contributors) tell us anything that is at all useful? It seems like information - the sort people go 'oh really, how fascinating' to - but I can't really see how it's relevant. Anyone want to chip in and make a stand for national identity or anything? To me it's kinda like you said 'find and grep are the two main contributions to…

It's just a little point of interest. I don't often think about my life intersecting with the nation off of Brazil, yet I use htop every day. Now I'll probably cast my mind to a Brazilian rainforest when I do. Just makes the world a slightly more interesting place.

Thanks! Always nice when we help to make people's perceptions of places less unidimensional. Brazil is not only a place with rainforests, we also have coders! :)

(Though, even though I'm a (Southern) Brazilian myself, I used to think the whole "monkeys in the streets" here was a hoax until I moved to Rio de Janeiro and I realized they have tiny squirrel-sized monkeys running atop the power lines there!)

Agreed. And it's fun running it on a box with 32+ cores.

Is there a quick way to avoid having all those cores take up the top 32 lines of the screen? Checking my 40 core machine in a typical terminal window, I can't see any of the processes, just 40 lines of CPU! Thanks.

Really? Recent versions shouldn't take more than 10 lines for 40 cores. It displays them in 4 columns.

Wouldn't braille characters also make nicer progress bars? I think they look more dense then a bunch of ||||

They look denser (could add two "lines" per character), but wouldn't be able to change the colors of these lines individually. Having said that, we use braille charecters when in "Graph" mode (F2 Setup > Meters > pick a meter > press Space until it goes to [Graph]).

Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.

Is there a way to combine all the processes with the same command name? I have a ton of mariadb processes (I don't even know if this is normal, but it seems to be working just fine) and it gets tiring having to scroll them just to glance the numbers on other processes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghwsh6ye1gt32k1/Screenshot%202016-...

On tree view (F5), you can collapse and expand sub-trees (with "+" and "-", or just click twice on them).

Awesome! Installing htop is the first thing I do on my *nix systems. The update is still not up on Homebrew, shouldn't take long though.

Perhaps you're referring to Linuxbrew - "a fork of Homebrew, the Mac OS package manager, for Linux." It exposes the same repository as its OSX counterpart, with linux-flavoured customisations where necessary. From feature list at http://linuxbrew.sh/ - Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo - Install software not packaged by the native distribution - Install up-to-date versions of softw…

Nope, I am talking about Homebrew, it provides the best way to install htop on OSX.

I think htop and lua are probably the two main Brazilian contributions to the open source community.

Apropos of nothing: does country of origin (or is it residence; or residence of the main contributors) tell us anything that is at all useful? It seems like information - the sort people go 'oh really, how fascinating' to - but I can't really see how it's relevant. Anyone want to chip in and make a stand for national identity or anything?

This is a legitimate question. I'm brazilian and I constantly see Facebook posts in Portuguese highlighting "Of the top X things, Y are Brazilian!", whereas I see none or very little of that in English speaking communities.

My theory is that there are relatively few great international contributions from Brazil and we rejoice anytime we see one.

This is kinda what set me off, one tend to stereotype with such information - was out written on an xo laptop in a favela, in a logging camp, on a super-yacht - a country name means something, I'm just not sure what. Countries as groups of people just seem too arbitrary to me I guess.
