I saw PHP 5.6 code used from a CMS that takes some data about the database connections used for a site, it creates a string, and obtains its SHA256 hash. (That value is usually considered a salt from the CMS.) When it needs a HMAC, it uses that SHA256 hash concatenated with the inode change time and the inode value (for the file containing the executed code).

I know that an SHA256 hash is not distinguishable from random output, but is there a better way to obtain a HMAC key that is used for short periods (for example, when running tests)?

Actually, I am also interested on how those questions could be improved, on ELL.

I ask for a question I could ask on ELL; not on ELU.

@user85795 That is not for English learners.

For example, in Italian I would not use the past tense for I was born in 1970. I would say Sono nato nel 1970. (I am born in 1970.) To an Italian, saying the equivalent of I was born means I am now dead. What for somebody who speaks English as first language is obvious, it is not so obvious for an English learner.

For somebody who speaks English as first language, they are probably boring questions, but for somebody who does not speak English as first language, the difference could be enough to be confused.

apaderno

Asking as person who speaks Italian as first language: How could I make a question about the tense to use in a sentence more "answerable"?

(Then, I was misunderstanding words like stepfather, stepson, father-in-law, son-in-law, etc.)

apaderno

@ColleenV I would not blame them too. :) I just had to understand how it works in USA. In Italy, a woman doesn't change her last name when married, and her last name is not given to her children. If she wants to give her last name to her children, it is possible, but her husband's last name is not changed.

(On my defense, in Italian patrigno and suocero are completely different words.)

apaderno

I confused stepfather with father-in-law.

apaderno

Jan 8, 2024 14:36

(Never mind, I am confusing different words.)

apaderno

I guess I could have asked if son-in-law is only used for the husband of one's child, but it would sound "strange" to me if son-in-law were the "inverse" of father-in-law.

@Laurel I should have said that sentence is about Michael Logan Lampton.

> He is survived by his wife, Susan Lea, daughter, Jennifer Lea Lampton, and son-in-law Nate Lampton (formerly Nate Haug).

I know this is could not be a matter of language, but does the following phrase means an husband can take his wife's last name?

"Se + è + commetterebbe" non è un caso diverso da quello chiesto in questa domanda dove la frase usa "se + è corretto + commetterebbe". Io riscriverei la frase riportata nella domanda per chiarire cosa esattamente non capisci.

apaderno

Questa domanda può essere ancora risposta. Cambia le frasi che proponi con varianti di quella che ho scritto nel precedente commento.

Presuppongo che tu stia chiedendo quale frase sia corretta tra "Se il testo originale è corretto, allora nella traduzione c'è un errore che neppure un traduttore automatico commetterebbe." e "Se il testo originale fosse corretto, allora nella traduzione ci sarebbe un errore che neppure un traduttore automatico commetterebbe."

apaderno

Mar 19, 2024 09:42

Il problema non è il modo ed il tempo usato per i verbi, ma il fatto che la frase sembra riferita a "testo", non prima a "testo originale" e poi a "la traduzione".

apaderno

Mar 19, 2024 09:42

"Se il testo originale è corretto, allora nella traduzione c'è un errore che neppure un traduttore automatico commetterebbe."

apaderno

Mar 19, 2024 09:42

Il nesso tra la prima parte e la seconda parte non è reso esplicito. Sembra anzi che la seconda parte implichi il contrario di quanto la prima parte dica. Sarebbe quasi come dire "Se io fossi ricco, morirei di fame."

apaderno

Mar 19, 2024 09:42

Quel che segue "Se il testo originale fosse corretto" non dovrebbe implicare che il testo è sbagliato, visto che l'ipotesi è che il testo sia corretto. (Potrei accettare "Se questo testo è corretto, allora siete ciechi." ma lo interpreterei come "Se pensate che questo testo è corretto, allora siete ciechi.")

apaderno

Mar 19, 2024 09:42

A dire il vero, non userei una frase del genere. Se voglio dire che un testo non è corretto e contiene un errore che neppure un traduttore automatico commetterebbe, direi semplicemente "Nemmeno il peggior traduttore automatico commetterebbe questo errore."

@tchrist Ed il resto vale un fico secco.
