I don't understand. Where's the context here? Had the library became mature enough to warrant a bump to 1.0? Or is this criticism of DHH?

Most of the attack vectors the author brings up don't relate to the OAuth2 spec per say, but to a poor implementation of it. Not escaping HTML, having your users getting phished, allowing arbitrary redirect_uri's to be set... These are thin

It's funny how these days, those systems and variations of those systems (COSMOS for example) are STILL used. Talk about legacy systems. Not more than 10 years ago, people were still breaking into them.

Just wanted to say, yeah BinRev was awesome. I was there, and (without dropping handles/names/etc.) I'm pretty sure we used to talk quite often ;)

I'd like to disagree that biege boxing COCOTs wasn't useful. First off COCOTs were owned by customers, so the magic did not happen at the telephone switch. Quite the opposite. When VoIP started emerging, a handful of COCOT companies and the

It really was the best scanning software around. Even today, I'd take a good bet that its the best.

If I'm understanding the logic that this article presents... Apparently after Prozac was introduced, depression became a huge phenomenon in the US. It showed up everywhere. This is evidence to suggest that antidepressants caused depression

Ruby isn't my first or only language. I'm pointing out that there doesn't seem to be much of any analysis or reasoning behind his posts. That's it. It amuses me that people automatically assumed I meant Ruby > all. I haven't claimed tha

Dude, every one of your posts on HN I've seen has been about how Ruby sucks and should be thrown away. Either you're a troll or you're a very angry and upset person. Either way, I feel sorry for you.

Thank you.

+1. Agreed.
