This is the same guy who hacked GitHub (and Rails) with the multiple assignment hack, among other things.

I enjoy reading his finds a lot. He tends to find relatively blatant lapses in the various security measures of the sites he investigates.

homakov is as famous as PG on HN.

[larrys]

Where is he "as famous"?

On HN? Or somewhere else (if so where?) where he is "as famous as PG on HN".

If you mean he is as famous on HN as PG is on HN I don't think that is the case.

[muyuu]

You'd be surprised.

HN has become mainstream enough that a lot of readers don't know who pg is. This is what getting linked from reddit, digg, etc leads to. I don't mean this is bad, or good. It's the way it is.

[flebron]

He means that the following are equivalent:

* How famous PG is in HN

* How famous homakov is in HN

Who is PG? Parental Guidance?

[GeneralList]

Close.

[onedev]

I suppose you can say he is a sort of Parental Guidance for HN.
