About

Hi 👋! I'm Ankit (he/him). I was born in a small town in Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳. I grew up being fascinated by computers. My earliest memory of using a Computer was playing Dangerous Dave on Windows 98. I discovered Linux and learned to program during high-school.

Now I work at Rapyuta Robotics building systems for large-scale warehouse robotics. Outside work, I'm interested in selfhosting, lisp and emacs.

I'm married to Mitchy. We live in Bangalore, India 🇮🇳. We love the Bangalore weather and enjoy going on bookstore and café dates.

TIL about the which-function-mode in Emacs. It is a global minor mode that displays the current function in the mode line when enabled.

Happy New Year 🎉

New year, new instance. I'm changing the base domain for my single-user GoToSocial instance (by migration). If it worked, you shouldn't notice it.

social.argp.in → social.argp.org.

I use the org-pomodoro package for focused sessions at work. But Slack notifications can easily break my flow, so I added the simple hooks to disable visible notifications on GNOME desktop.

(defun arg-disable-gnome-notifications ()
  (shell-command "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-banners false"))
(defun arg-enable-gnome-notifications () (shell-command "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-banners true"))

(add-hook 'org-pomodoro-started-hook #'arg-disable-gnome-notifications)
(add-hook 'org-pomodoro-finished-hook #'arg-enable-gnome-notifications)
(add-hook 'org-pomodoro-break-finished-hook #'arg-enable-gnome-notifications)
(add-hook 'org-pomodoro-killed-hook #'arg-enable-gnome-notifications)
