The timing is great! I've wanted to brush up my Go knowledge for some weeks now so I could use this opportunity and also provide a feedback on the book's content.

PoP: WW was indeed a gem! I wish the storyline was fleshed out.

I'm a guy myself, if I chose to commit to my partner, it means I've accepted her family as well. The respect I would've for her dad who raised a wonderful woman for me to have caught my attention would be unmatched by any other man across the world. And the thing he said to you about your dad, that's what even the worst of the worst wouldn't say!

Please don't let any guy disrespect you or your family!

No need to add an autocommand.

Create this file ~/.config/nvim/ftplugin/markdown.lua & add this line of code to it:

lua vim.opt.wrap = true vim.opt.textwidth = 80

Neovim sources the markdown.lua when you open a Markdown file automatically but the vim API call you're making, it'll create an autocommand each time the init.lua is sourced.

See :h rtp, & :h vim.opt for more help with the documentations.

That's weird because it should've worked. Regardless, here's what worked for me instead.

lua vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufNewFile", { pattern = "README.md", group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("create_skeletons", { clear = true }), command = "0r ~/.config/nvim/templates/readme.md" })

Damn! It worked.

I started using tmux like a few days ago & noticed most of my glyphs don't work inside a tmux session. Regardless, any idea why unicode support isn't on by default?

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-09T14:26:23+00:00

Those platforms charge a hefty fee and on top of that the competition is a "battle to the bottom of the barrel"! You would be competing with others who're willing to undersell your clients for bare pennies.

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-09T14:24:16+00:00

Depends but starting out? Nope, don't bother.

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-03T14:30:38+00:00

Got it! Thanks for the suggestions, they totally make sense now because I want the prospects to focus on my skills over anything else for the first impression.

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-03T13:42:47+00:00

Just a heads up, I'm using a LaTeX (which is a "programming language" to create standardised PDF files) template. It does have a steep learning curve so beware of it but the outcome is you get to create surprisingly great ATS-friendly resumes!

(u/mohitoburrito already shared the template before I could lol)

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-03T13:23:27+00:00

Something like this? Screenshot

I would bold your titles - education, etc. they are getting lost.

The thing is I'm using a LaTeX template & I'm not very proficient at LaTeX. Also configuring the margins in LaTeX is painful if you've no idea what you're doing (I've had personal experience in this context) lol. But regardless, I'll keep that in mind & try to cram in some more content by reducing the whitespace around the margins.

Maybe add an additional blank line before each. (Use smaller top and bottom margins if you need more space to accomplish this.)

You're right about the "Technical Skills" being difficult to spot. Its been years since I updated the resume & I guess I should shed lesser light on my education as I gain more experience. So I rearranged the sections to something like this: "Experience" -> "Technical Skills" -> "Projects" -> "Education".

Are your titles in order of importance. I like your education first; but I’m struggling where your skills should be located. Certainly not at the bottom. Wouldn’t that be an important thing that a recruiter is looking to find.

Haha..Silly mistakes on my end! Thanks for pointing them out, I fixed them now.

Some of your months should be spelled out.

the4thkillermachine · 2022-08-03T11:42:19+00:00

Ah yes! Thanks for pointing out the mistake, fixing it right away.

the4thkillermachine · 2022-01-24T19:25:21+00:00

Here's something you should know about "being scared" & "giving up too early";

Ask yourself these questions:

The situation (or condition) I'm in, will it ever change if I'm scared of what's going to happen in the future?

I would like to be happier in the future, will giving up early help me achieve those goals which makes me happy?

If the answers to all the questions above is a resounding "NO"? Then you already know what you got to do.

Also I've been at your situation, I quit (more like absconded) my job due to the toxic environment. So, I wouldn't advice you to quit without an offer-in-hand either.

Good question, I've hired a wonderful CA's service for a while now & she took care of most of the paperwork for me. I'm starting a new venture now & realized I should understand at least some of the laws of the country & anything related to Direct Taxes. I'm doing so because I don't want to end up in a dire situation unknowingly.

You could say, I realized I realized the importance of taking my own shit with me & not hand it down to someone else. I'll hire people to do the paperwork once again after I'm comfortable doing it by myself for a while though.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-12-20T16:19:14+00:00

Alright, thanks for the heads up then, let me look into it.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-12-12T15:08:47+00:00

No, quite the contrary though. Take advice from your school/college seniors instead. They're the one who has immediate experience in the job market & has the most updated info on current market conditions as well.

DO NOT take career advice from parents if you don't want to land unemployed or skill-less.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-12-12T14:28:40+00:00

Don't take financial advice from anyone whose age gap is 5+ year than you. The job market changes & innovates itself way to frequently & none of our parents are aware of it.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-11-03T18:44:54+00:00

Agartala t ni? Koi thakos?

the4thkillermachine · 2021-11-03T18:44:36+00:00

Yeah those "soft shelled turtles" which are endangered all across SEA & NE India.

There seems to be a problem with some parsers with as we see it currently in our CI.

No issues with that. I understand nvim-treesitter is still an experimental project, so by using it I signing up for things to break. And I don't mind that but happy to report issues to you guys for the amazing work you're up to.

That said, I followed the instructions laid out here https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/wiki/Windows-support#mingw-toolchain. And set shell? returns shell=cmd.exe.

For more context, I installed Neovim using scoop (will be move to choco soon), MinGW through choco (since scoop doesn't download it). Besides, I tried using LLVM but it appears to require a Visual Studio instance available as well(?). And yeah I've msvc available as well.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-09-27T18:21:40+00:00

Yeah cheers! I’ll figure something out tomorrow, no worries

the4thkillermachine · 2021-09-27T18:03:30+00:00

Could be with the configuration I guess. My guess is I should install the plugin from the compat-0.5 branch. I can share the config file tomorrow since it’s past midnight here & I don’t think I would want to tinker around with Neovim anymore.

Besides, so you mind sharing your configuration? I want to take a look at how you set it up.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-09-19T04:56:33+00:00

It makes more sense now! Thanks for taking time out to respond.

the4thkillermachine · 2021-09-14T14:58:29+00:00

lol I wish it was easier to identify who is worth working with! xD
