This document defines and provides examples of several common figures of speech: metaphor, simile, synecdoche, metonymy, idiom, and symbolism. It examines how each uses implicit or explicit comparison through language techniques like implicit juxtaposition or use of grammatical markers like "like" or "as". Examples are drawn from poems to illustrate how these figures of speech are used to represent abstract ideas or themes through concrete language. Common idioms are also briefly defined as constructions with different literal and intended meanings.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
