saheel1511··on Ask HN: Why continue to use Firefox?
Chrome won't allow AdNauseum. I also hate how it collects all my data^#. I've started using Waterfox, a Firefox based browser that won't collect my data and allows all extensions.

# admittedly, I don't quite understand what all data it gathers and how. But I know it does because my FB feed is littered by ads based on my chrome browsing. And I feel sooo exploited when that happens.

saheel1511··on Tabs, spaces and your salary – how is it really?
Same in most of India.
saheel1511··on Announcing Rust 1.13
I'm in no way proficient but I am a TA for an entry level OOP course at an UC. It took me 2 weeks to read through the major topics in Rust. And another month to get a good hold by gradually writing bunch of code.
saheel1511··on The Fuck – Correct your previous console command
alt-. (Alt-period) is a good shortcut to keep in mind. On first press, it inputs the last arg from the previous command. If you press alt-. again, it inputs the last arg from the previous-to-previous command. And so on.
saheel1511··on Einstein's list of conditions for staying together with his wife
I see lots of people commenting how Einstein was a jerk, etc. But somehow, I think that list (if it's real) just shows that he wanted order (and control?) in everything he did, which doesn't resonate as bad to me. We have no idea what kind of relationship he had with his wife, so I think it is unfair to judge him like that solely based on that list, more so, because his wife accepted it!
