Yes, and moreover, they just add a shared secret in the computation of the initial root key, it cannot be worse in this case.

What about this "Concatenating Secrets May Be Dangerous"? https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/F4SVeL2xbGPaPB2GW_...
Even KeePass recommends to write the master secret key on a piece of paper. Sure, it must be in a secure place, but we cannot avoid this step for reliability.

You can apply the awk command on a pipe, and so it is applies on each line of the file/stream.

Really nice link! Thanks fforflo.

Instead to create a script in Python to convert numbers in integers, you can use awk: "python3 parse.py" becomes "awk '{printf "%d\n", $0}'"
Who will attend to RWC?

Nice question!

Here my personal setting:

- Email : mutt [http://www.mutt.org/]

- Passwords manager : pass [https://www.passwordstore.org/]

- Navigate directories : autojump [https://github.com/wting/autojump]

- Task manager : task [https://taskwarrior.org/]

- Music : cmus [https://cmus.github.io/]

- Text editor : emacs -nw [https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/]

A good idea is maybe to focus on the English and the science/tech content, not on another language.

Thanks for this great link! Richard Feynman, always so pleasant and inspiring.
You must read the courses of Richard Feynman, the best books on physics ever :-)
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your mental health? on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @02:37PM (#17296450)
Totally agree. I go the work with my bike, it's good for mental and physic health. When I go back to my home - and if I don't have extra-urgent work, then I shutdown my laptop, my mobile phone, and enjoy the evening with my wife or with some quiet reading as story (not too technical stuffs to have good nights). Yes, of course, take breath and sleep as much as possible.
Re:Microsoft deploys first ocean floor data center on Wednesday June 06, 2018 @09:36PM (#17252575)
Thanks for this news. The video is interesting. I am wondering: if only one cable can transport all this data, why we cannot have more speed with personal Internet box? This is only an economic reason?

For me, the strenght of HN is its minimalist side. Too many options are not always good.
