Good day! I get a job as a programmer, but at my old job they ask me to stay half-time. The work is remote. Can I combine? The question is whether I will be able to leave there for 10 minutes maximum. Can they track it down somehow?

Sorry man, but that's a bummer.
Tell me, how do random people from the Internet know if you can leave?
You should also ask if you can ask to use the toilet during the lesson.
How do we know what kind of new job you have there, and what rules - there are millions of companies in the world, each can have its own rules and plugs.
How do we know how smart you are to combine. Maybe you are Truffaldino from Bergamo, or maybe Slowpoke?
Contact the new employer and ask him directly how critical it is if you sometimes get distracted for 10-20 minutes, and you won’t need to encrypt at all if you manage to do the main work.

In normal firms, only the result is controlled, and not what the employee did during its achievement.
But you still can't combine.

Like in software companies

There are none, most likely you mean - grocery companies.

Can I combine?

You will answer this question for yourself when you work at least a week, get to know the team (colleagues in the cart, slack), look at the company’s device and the same volume + git flow.

but at the old job they ask to stay half-time

If it allows, agree on a revision in the evenings, since if there is a force majeure, you will kill all your nerves. There was already such an experience when I coveted a tasty increase in salary, the size of half of my salary - enough for a month, since the whole game of Bond eventually exhausted more than the main job.

Can they track it down somehow?

If there are no paranoids in the company, then no one will follow. If the part-time job is related to critical situations, such as force majeure, which will take more than n-minutes, I would consider whether it is worth it.

no matter what you're distracted by while you're doing your job.
but in good company there simply won't be a need to do so. If you need additional income, then you will be provided with such an opportunity. There is always more work to do than there are people willing to do it.

and why the hell do you need it
?
a new job is a new job, then you would have gone to a new job half-time

There are many ways to control. They look at Internet traffic, there are keylogger programs that track keystrokes, there are programs that take a screenshot of the desktop, after a certain period of time, they can track them by cameras. It all depends on the degree of stupidity of the employer)
