News : Release candidate: Godot 4.5 RC 2 .

On Friday of last week, we dropped our first Release Candidate build. As a reminder, we release RC builds once we think the engine has stabilized and is ready for release. It is your last chance to report critical regressions before we release the stable version. Now, not even a full week later, we’re ready with our second snapshot. This RC2 fixes the last of the critical regressions that we are aware of. Unless someone reports a new regression coming from the changes made in RC1 or RC2, we should be on track to release 4.5 stable soon.

See the official blogger.

Chaos has released Vantage 3.0 in beta, introducing initial support for USD, MaterialX, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and volumes in the real-time ray tracing renderer.

For VFX artists, Vantage 3.0 is another significant release, since it adds initial support for both the USD and MaterialX standards.

Users can now import and render both static and animated USD scenes – Vantage supports .usd, .usda, .usdc, and .usdz files – with MaterialX shaders.

That opens up the possibility of using the software in non-V-Ray-based pipelines.

News : perchance website - test , development note ...

I tested today the perchance with empty data and give me one result.

Also, the development team say on this development note on webpage - 8 august 2025:

Image Gen Update (August 8th)

I'm in the middle of updating the text gen model (used for story/chat/etc) and it turns out it's going to cost a bit too much.

I need to temporarily reduce the quality and speed of image gen so I can deploy the new text gen.

Image gen was already mediocre in terms of quality and speed, I know. And to add to the annoyance, you'll probably need to update your prompts to get back to the same styles. Sorry about that.

There may be some initial bugginess with this update - please bear with me while I fix any issues that come up. Edit: Currently there's an issue where prompts are being ignored sometimes, resulting in random/weird/nonsense images. I'm working on fixing it.

Once I'm finished with the text gen update, I'll get back to optimizing the image gen. It should be possible to get it down to a few seconds per image after a couple of months of work.

Aside: Thank you to those who don't block the advert - the AI stuff on Perchance would very literally be impossible without you. Of course, some people have no choice (e.g. network-level blocking that they don't control), and some people don't have any ads load for them due to the country they're from (e.g. sanctions, low advertising demand, etc.) or other issues like that. Either way, I'm working as hard as I can to optimize the models so Perchance can always be completely free and unlimited for everyone.

Let's see the result with empty data:

News : NodeJS and JavaScript security packages over sercurity areas.

Because I used NodeJS and JavaScript on web development, today I will show you some good packages for security using tree main areas of security ...

The first one:

ACLs known as Access Control Lists this use node_acl - npm package.

Will allow you to integrates with Express, also supports role-based access control known as RBAC, and stores rules in memory, Redis, or MongoDB. The main goal is to define user roles and permissions for resources.

The RBAC known as Role-Based Access Control): A security model where user permissions are assigned based on roles. Each role has specific access rights to resources, simplifying management and ensuring users only access what’s necessary for their job.

The second one:

SAML known as Security Assertion Markup Language:

This allow you to use passport-saml - npm package.

This package configure SAML strategy in Express for secure authentication.

Enables SSO by integrating with identity providers (e.g., Okta, Azure AD).

The SSO known as Single Sign-On is a system allowing users to authenticate once with an identity provider as IdP known as Identity Provider and access multiple applications without re-entering credentials, improving user experience and security.

The IdP is a system that manages user identities and authenticates users for applications.This verifies user credentials (e.g., username/password) and issues security tokens (e.g., SAML assertions) to enable single sign-on aka SSO across trusted services, like Okta or Azure AD.

The last one is audit Log known as SIEM:

SIEM known as Security Information and Event Management is a system that collects, analyzes, and correlates logs and event data from various sources (e.g., systems, applications) in real-time.

This use winston or bunyan - npm packages for logging.

The main goal is to capture system/user events and integrate with SIEM systems like Splunk via HTTP or TCP forwarding.

Store logs in JSON format for compatibility.

News : Google Apps Script - add link to google document.

Today, I tested how to add a link to google drive document.

I tried some issues with some source code and this issue not work !

Let's see some simple examples:

/**
 * Creates a new Google Docs document with a test link.
 * This script is intended to verify the functionality of setLinkUrl and document placement in a folder.
 */
function createDocumentWithTestLink() {
  const docTitle = "Document Test Link GAS";
  const doc = DocumentApp.create(docTitle); // Creates the initial document in My Drive
  const body = doc.getBody(); // Gets the body of the document to add content

  // Add a paragraph of text to the document body
  const paragraph = body.appendParagraph("This is a test link to Google.");

  // Define the test URL (ensure it's a complete URL with protocol, e.g., https://)
  const testUrl = "https://www.google.com";

  // Set the hyperlink for the entire paragraph
  try {
    paragraph.setLinkUrl(testUrl); // Applies the URL as a hyperlink to the paragraph
    Logger.log(`Link "${testUrl}" was successfully set on the paragraph.`);
  } catch (e) {
    Logger.log(`Error setting the link: ${e.message}`); // Logs any error during link setting
  }

  // --- NEW: Move the document to the same folder as the spreadsheet ---
  try {
    const spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); // Gets the currently active spreadsheet
    const spreadsheetFile = DriveApp.getFileById(spreadsheet.getId()); // Gets the Drive file object for the spreadsheet
    
    // Get the parent folder(s) of the spreadsheet. Assumes there is at least one parent folder.
    // If the spreadsheet is in the root of My Drive, this might require different handling.
    const parentFolders = spreadsheetFile.getParents(); // Gets an iterator for parent folders
    if (parentFolders.hasNext()) { // Checks if there is at least one parent folder
      const parentFolder = parentFolders.next(); // Gets the first parent folder
      DriveApp.getFileById(doc.getId()).moveTo(parentFolder); // Moves the newly created document to the parent folder
      Logger.log(`Document "${docTitle}" was moved to folder: ${parentFolder.getName()} (${parentFolder.getUrl()})`);
    } else {
      // If the spreadsheet has no parent folder (i.e., it's in My Drive root), the document stays in root.
      Logger.log(`Spreadsheet "${spreadsheet.getName()}" has no parent folder. The document remains in the root.`);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    Logger.log(`Error moving the document to the folder: ${e.message}`); // Logs any error during folder move
  }
  // ------------------------------------------------------------------

  // Get the URL of the created document and log it
  const docUrl = doc.getUrl();
  Logger.log(`Document was created: ${docUrl}`);

  // Display a notification to the user (will appear in the script editor or logs)
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert('Document created', `A new document with a test link has been created. Check the logs for the document URL and its folder.`, SpreadsheetApp.getUi().ButtonSet.OK);
}

/**
 * Adds an option to the "Custom Menu" to run the test function.
 * This function is automatically called when the Google Sheet is opened.
 */
function onOpen() {
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi() // Gets the user interface object for the spreadsheet
    .createMenu('Custom Menu') // Creates a new custom menu named "Custom Menu"
    .addItem('Create Test Link Document', 'createDocumentWithTestLink') // Adds an item to the menu that calls createDocumentWithTestLink
    .addToUi(); // Adds the custom menu to the spreadsheet's UI

News : Google Patents source

Google Patents is a free, intuitive tool from Google designed to search and browse patents and patent applications from around the globe. It pulls together information from major patent offices like the USPTO, EPO, and WIPO, among others, creating a centralized hub for patent data. Using Google’s robust search engine, users can locate patents by entering keywords, patent numbers, inventor names, or other specific terms. The platform provides in-depth access to patent documents, including detailed technical descriptions, legal claims, illustrations, and translated texts, making it a vital resource for inventors, researchers, and companies.

Its standout features include powerful search filters, automatic translations for patents in foreign languages, and a straightforward interface for exploring patent details. While it doesn’t handle patent filings, Google Patents is an essential resource for uncovering prior art, studying existing technologies, or diving into innovations
