Figures of speech are used to produce special effects through creative language. There are several types of figures of speech including similes, metaphors, hyperboles, irony/sarcasm, and metonymy. Similes explicitly compare two things using like or as, metaphors make imaginative comparisons, and hyperboles exaggerate for effect. Irony and sarcasm imply the opposite of what is said, while metonymy represents one thing by something closely associated with it.

Figures of speech
This document discusses figures of speech and provides examples of different types:
- Simile: uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, such as "My love is like a red red rose."
- Metaphor: directly compares two unlike things without "like" or "as", such as "Life is a broken winged bird."
- Personification: gives human qualities to non-human things, such as "The flowers danced."
- Hyperbole: exaggerated statements not meant literally, such as "A river full of gravy."
The document then provides sentences to analyze as examples of these four figures of speech.

Alliteration repeats consonant sounds, and assonance repeats vowel sounds within words or phrases. The document aims to explain these common literary techniques used in poetry and prose.
Figurative language
This document discusses different types of figurative language such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, and idioms. It provides examples and definitions for each type. Metaphors directly compare two things, stating that one thing is the other. Similes use like or as to compare two unlike things. Personification gives human qualities to non-human things. Hyperboles exaggerate for effect. Idioms are phrases with meanings different from the literal words. The document aims to explain these figurative language techniques.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
