FZF + ripgrep is really killer for me. I don't even bother organizing my notes anymore, I just throw everything markdown files in a flat directory and then I have a script that uses FZF + ripgrep to search through it when I need it. I search by "last modified first" so unless I'm digging for something very old the results are instant. Code snippets, finances, TODO lists, cake recipes... It's all in there. I use the s…

About a year ago, I discovered it was very helpful for me to have git branches ordered by "recently modified first": From my `~/.gitconfig`: [alias] brt = "!git for-each-ref refs/heads --color=always --sort -committerdate --format='%(HEAD)%(color:reset);%(color:yellow)%(refname:short)%(color:reset);%(contents:subject);%(color:green)(%(committerdate:relative))%(color:blue); ' | column -t -s ';'" I always spent a lot o…

thanks but it's way faster to have my stuff in G drive that way I can open a browser tab, wait 5 seconds for it to load, locate the new screen location of the search bar, click it, wait for javascript to finish loading so I can click the search bar, click it for real this time, mistype because there's some kind of contenteditable event jank, wait 5 seconds for my results to come up, fix the typo, and just have my res…

I'm not sure on how many level this statement is off. Sure, if its file where you don't care about your privacy, the kind of files you don't mind posting on facebook, then sure put in G Drive. But don't think for a second that those files in the cloud is yours. It is NOT! Especially when we are talking about FANNG here. You will have NO legal protection! Stop using cloud, usb is fine.

AUR has both a ripgrep-all [1] and ripgrep-all-bin [2] package. Both were addded by you. The bin package has a newer version. What is the difference between the two? 1. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ripgrep-all/ 2. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ripgrep-all-bin

You can (and should!) read the PKGBUILDs, they're very small and should always be manually inspected before install. The -bin suffix is an AUR convention to let you know that it's downloading a precompiled binary rather than building from source.

This means it's good sarcasm! The best sarcasm lies on a ridge, you cannot tell if it's sarcasm or not.

Good in what sense? A sarcastic endorsement of A that is indistinguishable from an earnest one is a poor argument for ~A. This is in fact what's happened with Schrodinger's Cat: it was meant as an argument from absurdity against the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, but it's presented seriously and so people take it in that way.
