TIL on macOS and BSDs you can type ctrl-t in a terminal to send a SIGINFO signal and get information about certain long-running processes. It even works with `sleep`. But you can't do it on Linux :(

@nnethercote@mas.to Oh that's what it is! I fumble Cmd + T vs Ctrl + T rather frequently and get confused when my current terminal tab spits out process info that I didn't know how I was manifesting into existence.
