What web app is this?


It's a brazilian system called SSW.

It's unfortunate that the MSDN blog shufflings over the years resulted in losing all the comments on the original post...


Any suggested resources for someone else interested in the evolution of the nation state?


Traffic between you and the public DNS servers isn't encrypted, so your ISP can still read it.

(I suppose this is one of the problems that DNS-over-HTTPS is designed to fix.)


Thank you for the answer, stuuuuuuuuu! I'll look into it.

...

DNS-over-HTTPS can be enabled in Firefox via Network settings, turns out.



That's it! You found it! Thank you.


Why does Windows Calculator need network access??


To get the latest rates for currency conversion: https://www.windowslatest.com/2017/07/23/calculator-windows-...


Then it should ask for network access the first time and remember what you said.

I didn't even know it had a currency converter.

These days I just do "200 GBP in hungarian forint" and google does it for me.

Though in fairness I'm a linux user who does some software dev on windows (in a VM) and that's about it.


Frankly, I didn't know it had one either. I took a guess at currency conversion being one calculation where the results would need to be looked up daily, googled and found the above article.


Ha, that's really cool. I rather like the Windows 10 Calculator.


The programmer mode on the windows calculator is extremely useful!


In addition to the comments about APY, this analysis also assumes that you'll get the same 2.32% rate when you buy another bond three months from now, six months from now, etc.--correct me if I'm wrong, but that rate isn't guaranteed to hold up through the year.


Yes, that's why I said in my post "assuming rates stay the same". But thanks for chiming in anyways.


In my case, iTerm2 can do more sophisticated keyboard remapping than the standard terminal. Specifically: I have Caps Lock globally remapped to Command. Except, in iTerm, it acts as Control. Except, if I'm using some specific combos, like Cmd-Tab or Cmd-`; then it acts as Command again.


Oh wow, great idea! Now that I'm working more often with linux, I kinda got Caps+C etc. in my muscle memory, because I set Caps as Ctrl. When I switch back to macOS, it takes a while of wondering why my shortcuts won't work. Care to explain how exactly you set this up? I guess in System Preferences -> Keyboard you set Caps to Cmd. And then?


In iTerm Preferences, Keys, set Left Command to Control, then in the Key Mappings list, add each Cmd-xyz combo you want to preserve, and set its action to "Do Not Remap Modifiers".


A good usecase for Docker, maybe? Put the script in a container and let it run wild, then delete the container when it's done.
