The public key form update vulnerability was based on the same concept in a different place.

"The same user exploited another vulnerability". It wasn't exactly "another vulnerability". It still had to do with the same mass attribute assignment feature just in a different place.

  So what's a good gem (if any) for safe guarding params on the controller level? @dhh's params.slice feels too dirty.

  yeah, it's too simple to be clean! I think you are using the wrong framework if you crave more complexity for its own sake.

mofeyon Public Key Security Vulnerability and Mitigation

Saw your full comment on github: https://github.com/blog/1068-public-key-security-vulnerabili... Well put. I guess startups can act enterprisy too when money is involved. The irony is that had they been actually proactive, they would have avoided this kind of publicity and money (for 3rd party audits).

mofeyon Ask HN: "Smart" VCS with a built-in interpreter?

I use indentation provided by IntelliJ and it has always helped me indent my code.

mofeyon Ask HN: "Smart" VCS with a built-in interpreter?

- More meaningful information about a particular commit.

- Robustness of versioning. Certain types of errors will become extinct. For example, refactoring will update a variable in all 10 places instead of 9/10.

- VCS can take on tasks of an integration server. The VCS now will be able to make sure that your project "compiles" before accepting a commit.

The real motivation behind this would be to make branch management easier, since the VCS has now more information.

mofeyon Ask HN: Who's Hiring?

I'm in the same boat... It seems that startups have even more stringent hiring requirements, because they want someone to prototype fast from day one.
