<p>> Would it still be possible to participate in conversations, would people still be able to subscribe to you?<p>Yes.  I follow several remote users who default to "unlisted" posts.  (To be honest, I don't know if they're unlisted or follower-only posts -- I can't tell.)</p>

<p>I bought the 32 GB emmc module for it, for the root filesystem.  I have a 500 GB nvme drive for everything else.  I believe an nvme-to-sata riser will work, but I don't have one to test with (plus you'd need to power the sata drive with something else).</p>

Common misconceptions"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I think their point is that Elixir lets you write<p><pre><code>    defmodule Multiply do
      def m9(m1), do: m1 * 9
    end

    # elsewhere...
    defmodule Caller do
      def doit() do
        Multiply.m9(2)
        Multiply.m9("hi")
      end
    end
</code></pre>
It won't raise an exception or give you a warning while compiling it (tested with 1.18.4).  Even adding<p><pre><code>    @spec m9(integer()) :: integer()
</code></pre>
above its definition doesn't do anything.</p>

<p>Paper: Coding Malware in Fancy Programming Languages for Fun and Profit<p><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19058" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19058</a><p>> The continuous increase in malware samples, both in sophistication and number, presents many challenges for organizations and analysts, who must cope with thousands of new heterogeneous samples daily. This requires robust methods to quickly determine whether a file is malicious. Due to its speed and efficiency, static analysis is the first line of defense.<p>> In this work, we illustrate how the practical state-of-the-art methods used by antivirus solutions may fail to detect evident malware traces. The reason is that they highly depend on very strict signatures where minor deviations prevent them from detecting shellcodes that otherwise would immediately be flagged as malicious. Thus, our findings illustrate that malware authors may drastically decrease the detections by converting the code base to less-used programming languages. To this end, we study the features that such programming languages introduce in executables and the practical issues that arise for practitioners to detect malicious activity.</p>
