Could you please review the guidelines and post less rudely and antagonistically? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com

  When they post these misguided reinventions of the wheel which on top of that require gargantuan effort to get working for something as trivial as a find + grep, they antagonize me; and then they argue about GNU tools having never seen or worked on a real UNIX, it's blind leading the blind. Infuriating.

    Except tools like ripgrep aren't equivalent to find + grep. There is no simple invocation of find + grep that does what ripgrep does automatically. `git grep` would be closer. You talk about being antagonized, but many of your comments in this thread have stated either outright incorrect things, or moved the goalposts, without acknowledging either one even when others point it out. Talk about infuriating. Just because a misguided person such as myself wrote a piece of software doesn't mean you get to be rude to everyone who talks about it or suggests it.

      Sorry, replying to you while responding to the parent because their post is already flagged. Annatar, both the Rust compiler and ripgrep are available as packages in pkgsrc. The number of hoops one needs to jump in order to use this tool on your niche platform is exactly one. And that hoop is not even on fire. Keep moving those goal posts though. Hopefully you can move them far enough to keep the Venn diagram of your mistruths and people who recognize them completely disjoint.
