Since it's unreleased they might name it differently when releasing but I don't think they will make it open source. Microsoft will most likely use it for themselves.

And instead of improving their code so Teams is fast as VS Code, they delegated it to the Edge team to write a new version of Electron called WebView2. Teams' codebase is apparently so bad that it's not fixable and they need to re

While it might turn deadly, there are many asymptomatic cases, too, so it's not like Ebola or something. One should still get the vaccine when living in or traveling to an affected area and plans to go into nature, though. When I was l

Can Autopilot work in heavy rain or fog? If not, those comparisons are useless. Those are the conditions where most accidents occur, not in sunny Californian weather.

This has been the requirement for teachers in Germany since WW II. 5 years of university plus 1 year following an experienced teacher with a practical exam at the end. Teachers are generally well paid, though.

Stocks are also not immune. The extreme rise in recent years is arguably because of cheap money.

Companies use the term "Human Resources", literally. Without translation. Ridiculous if you ask me.

The company can record phonecalls with customers as long as the customers agree , which is already being done under the disguise of "improving customer service". The company cannot record all phone calls an employee makes. The co

The company can easily take measures to prevent situations like this by using a proper CRM solution. If the company didn't, it's its own fault. Flaws in internal processes don't legitimize surveillance.

This is false for the general case. The employer always needs a reason, e.g. the employee appears to be browsing the internet the whole day instead of working. And even then, the work council has to be consulted. The employer can look at wo

The term "Human Resources" is slowly creeping into German corporate speak. Before that it was called "Personalverwaltung" (employee management) which I think is a way better and more fitting name.

The company cannot even look at the employee's work emails unless there are already indications that the employee is acting in bad faith ("Anfangsverdacht").

Did you ever have the flu? I bet you didn't and if you think you did, you probably had a cold instead. A runny nose, headaches, and a sore throat doesn't mean you got the flu. The flu will bind you to your bed for at least a week

Super illegal in Germany, luckily. It's shocking to me how people here accept this as normal. You shouldn't lose all rights just because someone is paying you any amount of money. The company does not own you. You're not a so

Microsoft, too, will pull projects, or just completely rewrite them and make them incompatible. Applications using .NET Framework with WinForms are not just a dependency update and recompile away from being ported to .NET 6. WinForms got a

My 35 year old Miele is also working fine. I had to replace the pump once after 20 years but that was easy, I just ordered it from Miele for a few Euros. End of production for this model was in the 80s by the way.

I was told recently that there is already change happening. Medical students are being told that they need to work with the patient, not on them. Nobody knows their symptoms and illness better than the patient themselves. A doctor looks at

Sailfish OS is mobile Linux and can run on smartphones. I didn't personally use it but the website claims it to run on the Sony Xperia 10 II from 2020. It costs $50, though. https://jolla.com

This is throwing a big wrench into the idea that EVs could help stabilize the grid in the era of relatively unreliable renewable energy sources. At least for now until better battery tech will emerge. Hopefully insurance will keep track of

Ha, 200,000€, you'd be lucky to get even land for that. Have you looked at housing prices recently? You can maybe get this in Saxony in a village somewhere where you need to drive 20km to the next supermarket or doctor. In my city you

That's one of the main complaints I have about all those measures that are being taken currently to become green. Government officials are also talking about using tax money to rebuild all houses for the people affected by the recent f

The bad thing isn't the fire itself. It required multiple fire units to be on site at all times. That's resources you can't use anywhere else for that time.

In the same vain there is no algorithm to precisely predict moon phases. A complete cycle takes proximately 27 days but not really. To find out you have to look into the sky which can also be a bit subjective.

Brave and Vivaldi outsourced the browser engine of the browser part to Google, though. That's the most expensive and work intensive part. They are also not part of any standardisation committee, as far as I know.

A friend of mine has over 4,000 tabs open in Firefox at the moment - they just never close a tab, ever. Their Firefox' memory usage is only a little higher compared to mine with 3 open tabs.
