It made me very sad to read this morning that one of the founders of Debian has passed away. Yep. the IAN in DebIAN.
Official reason for his death is not yet known at the time of writing. His contribution in the open source community is priceless. Thanks a lot for that Ian.
If ever some people caused your death prematurely, hope they… you guess the rest.
I present to you my new “old” car. Here you go:
I must say it is one of the ugliest rims ever designed. No money to put alloy wheels for now :(.
No Power Steering in this car. Such a pain to get out from home or to park it back. For my driving test, I learned to park using Power Steering and passed the test using Power Steering. Now I gotta learn how to park all over again and get laughed at for making lots of to and fro movements as compared to other drivers (including ladies ones) 🙁
But once the car is moving, the steering wheel is responsive and smooth like butter. No vibrations whatsoever. The height can also be adjusted which is a plus.
Since it’s a german car, It’s found on the left side of the steering wheel. Why can’t they put it on the right side? Cost issues? You are supposedly be selling “luxury” cars for premium a price but you can’t switch the signal levers for left-hand drive countries? I bet Japanese car do invert theirs.
I accidentally switched on my windshield wipers few times when I was supposed to put my full bean or signal my actions. But with habit it’ll be fine i guess.
I wanted a manual transmission to really understand the car I was driving. To learn how to drive. To be economic. To have greater control. What could be better than that? It got a 5 speed gearbox.
Yesterday I went to PORLWI by Light festival and got stuck in a huge traffic jam through Caudan.
@IshSookun Exited was I to drive a manual car. Excited was i to drive to Porlwi. Damn this sucks

But I managed to survive it, park the car (took like 10 mins), walk around then return home happily 😀
The side mirrors position are controlled electrically. However it doesn’t fold in and out automatically.
Japanese cars usually have the controls on the turn signal levers. In this car, we have a rotary switch to activate the light beam. For full beam, just pull the turn signal lever.
It got a Pioneer AM/FM radio, CD player installed. No fucking AUX port. Such a disappointment for me for not being able to play my own MP3. Can’t even read a CD-RW that I bought yesterday. Thinking of
Any advice?
It’s a 1043 cc. Just enough to get moving and not get speeding tickets 😉
It’s a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) car. Don’t expect to do “drifts” with this car.
The driver’s and front passenger seats are very comfortable even on crappy roads. The shock absorbers seem to be doing their job perfectly. Didn’t have the opportunity to sit at the back while someone is driving. Sister says it’s not that bad.
It’s a relatively quiet ride too. The engine noise don’t infiltrate the cabin too much.
You’d always want to buy a car from someone who treats his car well. The car still had the owners manual in the glovebox which is an excellent sign of a responsible owner. The car was very clean in and out.
Even the original Volkswagen key ring holder was still their as well as the second key.
Fully functional car. Almost everything is manual and unassisted. Can’t really complain for lack of AC,power steering, central lock, power windows for the price (Rs 70 – 80k) and age (MR 96).
Great car 😀
Think my next car will be a Volkswagen Polo MK4 (9N3) or later or a KIA Rio. But that’ll take a while 😛

Let me try to download that fucking XCode. I open the app store. Create my account. It won’t fucking let me finish the procedure without me adding my credit card details :@
WTH Apple?

Not all parts of your website or REST APIs you do require same level of protection. For example, a GET /api/dimounes is pretty harmless.
The Express/NodeJS code for such a route may be like follows:
app.get('/api/dimounes/',function(req,res){
var rows = // Get the people from database, file or anywhere
res.send(rows);
});
Let’s say now you want to add more ‘dimoune’. We create a new route for it but we’ll use HTTP POST verb instead of GET.
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.post('/api/dimounes/',function(req,res){
var sql = "INSERT INTO dimounes (name,sex) VALUES ('" + req.body.name + "' , " + req.body.sex + ");";
// run sql or mongo insert
res.send("ok");
});
Problem here is everyone can do POST request and spam your database to corrupt it. Let’s protect the POST route so that it requires the user to authenticate.
$ npm install http-auth --save
Let’s define our username and password
var auth = require('http-auth');
var basic = auth.basic({
realm: "Protected Area"
}, function (username, password, callback) { // Custom authentication method.
callback(username === "nayar" && password === "mydumbpassword");
}
);
All we have to do is add auth.connect(basic) as a middleware in our routes we want to protect
app.post('/api/dimounes/',auth.connect(basic),function(req,res){
var sql = "INSERT INTO dimounes (name,sex) VALUES ('" + req.body.name + "' , " + req.body.sex + ");";
// run sql or mongo insert
res.send("ok");
});
And there you go! Let’s try it with AJAX calls with jQuery 😉
$.ajax({
method: "post",
url: "/api/dimounes/",
data: {
name : "Nayar",
sex: "male"
},
success: function( data ) {
console.log(data);
},
});
You shall get a popup in your browser asking for your username and password. If you are using curl, just add the credentials using the -u
curl -nayar:mydumbpassword -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data '{"name":"nayar","sex":"male"}' http://example.com/api/dimounes
NOTE: As we saw in this article (click), Express doesn’t parse HTTP body, we have to add this line at the top for the above command to work in curl.
app.use(bodyParser.json());
1. Install brew
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
2. Install MySQL from brew
$ brew install mysql
3. Launch service using launchctl.
$ mysql.server start
4. Connect to MySQL shell
mysql -u root
As compared to Ubuntu counterpart, root mysql account is not password protected.
