About

• 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. 👇

::rmnThe original designOriginal 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 cardMemorize 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.
