For one, the last official stable release of premake is from 2010.

We had rcs, cvs, svn, and now git. Why would it be the ultimate VCS and not be replaced again by something better?

Are you suggesting that killing a few people is acceptable as long as the net result is positive? I don't think that's how the law works.

One dev flat out refused to stand. I can still see the pulsing vein on the neck of the project manager who so wanted to scream ‘You will stand during the standup dammit!’

There's no project manager role in Scrum so he was already doing it wrong.

Dresden is kind of a semiconductor hotspot in Germany. AMD and Infineon have factories there for example which also attracted suppliers and related technology to the area.

Why would you like a standalone IDE instead? You'd have to pay another license instead of using an existing one.

He would help you in preventing you from learning the wrong things that can take a long time to "unlearn" again later.

"Learning the piano" is nothing like Guitar Hero, though. These apps just tell you (and check) which key to press in what order. They don't teach you anything about musicality like dynamics or articulation. They often can't even tell if you played multiple notes simultaneously or if your timing was correct.

If you cannot already play the piano, what you get is just a fancy way to learn reading (parts of) sheet music with the ability to connect a MIDI keyboard.

Yeah, just start your own Twitter if you want to build an app for it.

Most people know about scripts and what are for. Most people don't know anything about just or what a "Justfile" is.

What? That's the absolute opposite of what happens. More vitamins are retained in the food in a pressure cooker because of less water/more steam and less oxygen.

I don't think that's very clear in the article. The law allows companies to provide incentives for internal reports but the employee/reporter is the one who can chose to do an internal and an external report.

Personen, die beabsichtigen, Informationen über einen Verstoß zu melden, können wählen, ob sie sich an eine interne Meldestelle (§ 12) oder eine externe Meldestelle (§§ 19 bis 24) wenden. Wenn einem intern gemeldeten Verstoß nicht abgeholfen wurde, bleibt es der hinweisgebenden Person unbenommen, sich an eine externe Meldestelle zu wenden.

DeepL translation:

Persons intending to report information about a violation may choose whether to contact an internal reporting office (Section 12) or an external reporting office (Sections 19 to 24). If an internally reported violation has not been remedied, the whistleblower is free to contact an external reporting office.

The LAG Köln disagrees with your interpretation:

(...) Im Falle des verstetigten Bruttomonatsentgelts tritt diese Fälligkeit gemäß § 614 Satz 2 BGB nach Ablauf des Zeitabschnittes, bei einer Monatsvergütung also nach Ablauf des jeweiligen Monats, ein. (...) [1]

This means the payment is due as soon as the month is over and according to § 286 (2) 1 BGB, the employer is immediately in default

"after the expiry" != "immediately after the expiry"

That's actually exactly what it means. Immediately after the end of the time period, the employee is entitled to the money and the employer has to pay interest for each day after that.

If remuneration is assessed by time periods, then it is to be paid at the end of the individual time periods.

"time period" = "month"

Meanwhile in the real world, salary has to be paid at the end of the month:

BGB, Section 614

Due date of remuneration

Remuneration is to be paid after performance of the services. If remuneration is assessed by time periods, then it is to be paid at the end of the individual time periods.

Outlook shows national holidays in the calendar, yet its "Scheduling Assistant" is unable to figure out that people don't work on that day.

20 days are 4 weeks if you work 5 days per week.

All that said: can someone point me in the direction of a hosted email service that is reliable (this is a must, I don't want emails to bounce and I don't want spam), has native mobile apps w/push notifications, has a good web ui, and generally just works? And can anyone confirm that once I pull my email from google apps that I could then use it for those google services?

Fastmail does all that, I'm using it for years now: https://www.fastmail.com/?STKI=/u226717

PLEASE NOTE: On 2022-02-14, we decided to abandon the current path of using X11/KDE desktop components and write from scratch a new UI that will align better with our goals. A very early UI on the new WindowServer is starting to take shape as of 2022-07-27. Thanks for your patience as we work to make ravynOS the best possible version.

This is illegal in the EU.

It also cost 5 to 30 EUR per query/person and takes several weeks.

Unless one has a medical condition preventing them from being vaccinated, who cares? We somehow got in a state where we protect unvaccinated minority who doesn’t care about how inconvenient they make the lives of everyone else.

This wouldn't be such a big problem if the unvaccinated weren't overwhelming the hospitals and ICUs, which affects everybody in case of emergencies or even planned surgeries.

If I disagree with googles rules I can avoid google.

That's exactly what Germany's highest court denied if they "move into a dominant position and take over the provision of the framework conditions of public communication themselves" because it is not easy to avoid Google/YouTube.

To compare it with name and DOB in the government ID.

This vaccine is not preventing getting infected, just reduces getting.the disease significantly. I'm more optimistic about Moderna, as this vaccine doesn't prevent me from infecting my parents.

What does that mean? Don't both vaccines work exactly the same? Both are mRNA vaccines.

It's called "Vorausgefüllte Steuererklärung" (see https://www.elster.de/eportal/infoseite/belegabruf_%28privat...).
