There is hardly a person nowadays who never clicked that "Recover password" button in deep frustration. Even if it does seem the password was without a doubt correct, the next step of recovering it mostly goes smoothly with visiting a link from an email and entering the new password (let's not fool anyone; it is hardly new as you have just typed it three times already in step 1 before pressing the obnoxious button).

The logic behind email links, however, is something to take great scrutiny about as leaving its generation insecure opens a flood of vulnerabilities regarding unauthorized access to user accounts. Unfortunately, here is one example of a UUID-based recovery URL structure many probably encountered, which does not nevertheless follow security guidelines:..

Imagine an alternate reality where words were a currency. In this reality, every word you utter depletes your life’s savings.

From the day you are born, you are given a set number, and it’s the same as everyone else’s. Just like a board game, it’s up to you to choose how you use your points.

Let me ask you..

How would you use your words?

How would this shape the way you communicate, and how often you do?

How would you measure the importance of the words coming out of your mouth?

When would you speak, when would you rather stay quiet?

Well. That’s the reality I used to live in for a few years when I was 6 years old.

I don’t remember why I came up with this, or where I heard it, but it was a known fact. I lived within these parameters...

Perhaps you’re familiar with procedural level generation; well, in this post, it’s all about procedural mission generation. We’ll walk through the big picture of generating missions using classic machine learning and recurrent neural networks for roguelike games.

Hi all! My name is Lev Kobelev, and I’m a Game Designer at MY.GAMES. In this article, I’d like to share my experience of using classical ML and simple neural networks as I explain how and why we settled on procedural mission generation, and we’ll also take a deep dive into the implementation of the process in Zombie State.

Six months ago, President Biden issued a landmark Executive Order to ensure that America leads the way in seizing the promise and managing the risks of artificial intelligence (AI). Since then, agencies all across government have taken vital steps to manage AI’s safety and security risks, protect Americans’ privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers and workers, promote innovation and competition, advance American leadership around the world, and more.

Today, federal agencies reported that they completed all of the 180-day actions in the E.O. on schedule, following their recent successes in completing each 90-day, 120-day, and 150-day action on time. Agencies also progressed on other work tasked by the E.O. over longer timeframes.

Actions that agencies reported today as complete include the following:

How to Create a CI/CD Pipeline Using GitHub and AWS EC2

TL;DR Creating a CI / CD Pipeline for a webservice on github connected to an AWS Ec2 server Read More.

Hey everyone, today I want to do a tutorial on one of my favorite ways to deploy a quick REST API, using NodeJS/Express, to an Amazon EC2 server. This technique essentially enables your EC2 server to respond to changes pushed to your GitHub repository.

Create a basic express server with a ‘hello world’ at the default route

Good job, step one complete! 💪

Initialize a Git repo in your directory, and make your first commit —

Create a remote repository on your GitHub account

Add the new repo as the origin, and push your branch.

You might need to change your repository settings to use ‘master’ as the default branch instead of ‘main.’

After you do this you can delete the ‘main’ branch.

Step 2: complete! We’re cooking with gas ⛽️

Here are the steps to launch your EC2 Instance:..
