/about/
eg

  • I am a software engineer and a writer interested in the interplay between thoughts and constraints, the duality of interpretations and representations, and the nature of abstractions and correspondence between them.

  • I am a long time practioner of Vipassana, but I am also a fallibilist with a slight objectivist bent. So I probably have a very different view of meditation than most people. We can talk about it if you want to.

  • On this website I write articles about [[Computer Science::/tags/#Software]], [[Philosophy::/tags/#Philosophy]], Mathematics, and [[Generic Life Stuff::/tags/#General]]. Sometimes I also [[review::/tags/#Review]] books that I've read. You can find my programming side-projects on [[github::https://www.github.com/rgvr]]

  • I have a [[youtube channel::https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCESc8TaWpQxpHEnfhQLgzPQ]] on which I stream my work log(live writing sessions, coding sessions, reading/researching sessions, etc).

  • If you find anything interesting about who I am or what I do, please do reach out to me. 👇

  • Shoot me a dm or just tweet [[@rgvrme::https://twitter.com/r]]. I will try to reply as soon as I can.

  • I live in Bangalore, so If you happen to be in Bangalore by chance and want to chat, drop an [[email::mailto:[email protected]]] and include [Coffee] in the subject line, and we can work something out.

  • If you are not comfortable reaching out to me directly, you can also anonymously give me [[feedback::https://www.admonymous.co/rgvr]]

::rmn]]The original design[[Original Design
::lsn]] of this website was a lot more ostentatious than what you see here. As I progressed through the development process of this website, the current design started emerging on its own. For reasons I don't even understand, the current design just started feeling more natural than the one I had in my mind initially. The bare and simple look-n-feel of this site, at least to me, encompasses the essence of all the things I love about the sites I frequently visit --- feed-like structure, previews, search with context, contextual backlinks, sidenotes, etc. I am hopeful that you'll love it too. :)

  • Page preview (Move your mouse over the link): [[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet]]
  • Transclusion: Allows you to see a partial view of the contents of the website to the right or the left of the margin.
  • Sidenotes (Changelog you see on the left is an example of this).
  • Wiki-style link: Usually wikis allow you to specify links using double bracket, I added it here using liquid. Also added bad-link highlighting
    • Good link: [[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet]]
    • Bad link: [[Title of a page that doesn't exist]]

Some Less know features:

  • Go back to the blog home or to the notes page, and try to right click on any of the entry. [Hint: Zettelkasten]

  • Press 'Shift + s' to trigger search

  • Click this card[[Memorize me so that you do well in your exams::srs]] looking thing to know how I use my notes. [Hint: SRS]

Other Details:

  • The site lives on [[Github::https://github.com/rgvr/simply-jekyll]] and is served using Netlify
  • This website is statically generated using Jekyll from a set of Markdown files.
    • The Jekyll theme can be found on my Github Page, It is called "Simply-Jekyll"
  • Except lunrjs and katex, there are no third party libraries. Discord is an opt-in, I don't use on my [[site::https://rgvr.me]]. I strongly believe in user privacy.
