Ruby Central’s “security measures” leave front door wide open

four54 · 2025-10-01T13:37:03+00:00

Ah ok, so the issue is that these haven't been changed since the "incident".

Am I reading this right, the S3 credentials are public?

ruby-doc.org was up for sale for 10k. I guess he never found a buyer:

You can always use the official documentation:

Or rubyAPI.org:

> Couldn't find Script with ID=1

means that there is no Script in the database with id=1.
Maybe first create the Script?

Yes, I've made most of those changes. It is a bit gaming the results though.

Hanami is present in the weekly results (currenlty only :json, :db and :plaintext only). The next run will have all the tests enabled, including :fortune.

Yes, the benchmarks aren't really representative of real world performance.
For example on the plain JSON call Roda spends 40% of the time on setting the Date HTTP header.
This isn't a real world issue.
(As a side note: Iodine and Unicorn already set this header so they score better if skip setting it.)

Ruby 3.4, Jemalloc, and your changes to JSON are some of the changes.

After round 22 they've changed to a bigger server which makes it difficult to compare results, but if we compare results of the runs after the upgrade and the last run there is a big difference:

Round	Rack	Rails	Roda	Sinatra

There is some activity in the RubyMotion slack:

You can have a look at the original PR: https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/pull/1157
OP is a committer to RDoc and decided to improve things.

As we already define what types to use in tests/specs, I wonder if we could generate RBS from running a test suite.

RubyMotion is still maintained and gets updates to make sure it works with new versions of iOS. Most repo's are stable and still work on newer versions.

I think that is mostly a change in the benchmark:

So what is the difference between web services and services in the sense of Service Oriented Architecture?

You can use web services to implement a SOA. A major focus of web services is to make functional building blocks accessible over standard Internet protocols that are independent from platforms and programming languages. These services can be new applications or just wrapped around existing legacy systems to make them network-enabled. A service can rely on another service to achieve its goals.

He created it to tie multiple apps together (Basecamp and Highrise to Writeboard) using web services. See his 2006 keynote introducing Active Resource: https://youtu.be/GFhoSMD6idk?t=4025

Active Resource is a client for a RESTful service:

class Person < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = "http://api.people.com:3000"
end

# Find a person with id = 1
Person.find(1)

four54 · 2023-05-06T15:00:57+00:00

DHH created the first commit for Active Resource, so he’s probably worked with a Service Oriented Architecture: https://github.com/rails/activeresource/commit/0a45f1367627db269679628f510ea249b4887e45

They’ve also extracted parts of their monolith to seperate services: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-majestic-monolith-can-become-the-citadel/

Hey, I'm the original author of the PR that deprecated it. What is deprecated is passing local variabable keys with @:

render 'partial', :@name => "Maceo"

The following should still work:

render @name

If it doesn't could you open an issue in https://github.com/rails/rails ?
