Favourite hypervisor for a macOS host?
Dear fellow Mac users,

What’s your favourite hypervisor for a macOS host?

I’m currently pondering what hypervisor to use and would appreciate some input from other Mac users. What has worked well for you folks, what hasn’t worked well?

See below for some options that I have found.

Would love to hear from you regarding this matter.

¤ PARALLELS ¤

Good performance. Support is included in the subscription. Works with M1 CPUs. A Vagrant provider is available. Proprietary software.

Website: https://www.parallels.com/eu/products/desktop/

¤ VMWARE FUSION ¤

Supposedly stable. A Vagrant provider is available. M1 CPUs still in beta. No support included(?). Proprietary software.

Website: https://www.vmware.com/se/products/fusion.html

¤ UTM ¤

Open source. Nice clean GUI. Works with M1 CPUs. Community support available. No Vagrant provider available. Not so mature, still quite buggy.

Website: https://mac.getutm.app/

¤ QEMU (with our without libvirt) ¤

Open source. Works with M1 CPUs. Community support available. No mature Vagrant provider available.

Configuration is not straight-forward. Guides and documentation are mostly related to Linux hosts, much of that information is not relevant for a macOS host. HVF support is probably not mature yet.

Unclear how to configure networking[0].

Website: See https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/HVF, https://www.qemu.org/ and https://libvirt.org/

¤ VIRTUALBOX ¤

Open source. A Vagrant provider is available. Community support available. No M1 support.

I’ve found the GUI to be buggy on recent versions of macOS. And I’m not fond of using products that are owned and developed by Oracle.

So our best and brightest are working for a company whose product is a GUI for an FTP site. Good to know.
I think this has less to do with technology to be honest and more with the size of the 'chattering class' in a lot of Western countries. The traditional blogosphere has always been an outlet for a sort of amateur public intellectual that simply isn't that common in China, or a lot of Asian countries for that matter. I think it's more cultural than technological.

I'm in agreement with one of the other commenters here who pointed out that this is an economic phenomenon if anything. There's a large elite, upper middle learned class that puts a lot of status on being into these kinds of media that you just don't have in many places around the globe.

I still remember a similar discussion when I was in Singapore and I talked to people about what books by Singaporean authors they could recommend, and almost nobody had a recommendation. This always stuck with me because I have no doubt if I had asked this in Iceland or Finland I would have gotten plenty of domestic fiction recommended to me.
You misunderstand the Canadian political system. A senator or MP is free to act according to their own desire; they are political actors elected or appointed expressly for that.

The Governor General is Canada's representative of the Queen. They are not a politician. Literal centuries of British and Canadian jurisprudence have defined the Governor General to have no ability to act without the advice of their Prime Minister. As an unelected representative of the Monarch, if they act without the advice of the Prime Minister, that's a tyrant overthrowing the elected government. England cut off the head of the last monarch to act against the will of the House.
A 1% decline in supply can have an enormous impact on price, because price is set at each instant by the marginal buyer and seller.

For every 100 buyers (people) used to buying (eating) wheat every day, there is now only enough wheat for 99, on average. Wheat prices will therefore rise until 1 out of every 100 buyers cannot afford to buy their usual daily purchase of wheat. On average.
I personally don't like osx, but I see why developers and sysadmins go for them. it's nice to have a product with "good enough" posix compatibility that is supported by a large company. the price doesn't really matter to the individual when it's paid by their employer. and a wise employer recognizes that a brand new MBP is still a very small part of the total cost to employ an FTE.
It launched last month. It initially had a burst of users and activity, but that has cooled off substantially.

Nor is it the one in ReactOS.
Shouldn't the answer be obvious? This is Business 101. So many people put real effort into analyzing materials cost and then try to extrapolate that to what a product ought to cost at retail. Aside from situations where the materials are too expensive, they are basically not related.
I googled as well. Ukraine exports were ~ 20 million tonnes. The tweet says the expected shortfall is ~ 7 million tonnes, probably because Ukraine is not expected to lose all of their production. If they did lose all 20 million, then the fraction would be 20 million / 778 million = 2.6%. Total production (including that consumed locally) is about 25 million, so if all of that were lost, the overall difference would be about 3.2%.
Yes, the logic doesn't add up, it's a chicken egg problem. It has to be stable before it's used for pricing any serious amount of IRL goods. Given how it's usage has evolved, I don't see a path to a stable Bitcoin.

Not everyone wants to buy secondhand. I know people who have been bitten before and only buy new now. I don't know how true their story is, but often something secondhand is not like new, and if you are picky, you might not like secondhand.

Also, for a school situation, having everyone use the same laptop and software will make this more uniform and easier for the teacher.
I have just dabbled with Houdini and what you say (it is not exactly a shader but its procedural interface is probably similar to what you are saying) is spot-on.

Lots of data incoming, a graph of operations, lots of data (and plots, and what not) outgoing.

We probably won't know for a while. We can see death/ no death right up front but it seems to be pretty savage with organs. And then you have long covid, which seems to clear up at some point but we'll be waiting a while to see what the long term affects are.

We don't have hard numbers and even keeping track of cases and deaths was a bit scatter shot.
This doesn’t cover the different matte finish or how that could cost more at all.
Shallow article.
I only buy AMD GPUs, specifically because AMD provides open-source drivers and NVIDIA doesn't.
Generally when you hear Vitamin D the conclusion is "Move on, nothing more to see here folks".

Vitamin D is associated with good things (like your team won the Superbowl) but taking Vitamin D doesn't seem to lead to good outcomes any more than taking Vitamin D will make your team win the Superbowl.
> The ability to have more typical data-flow joins

This is available in Excel too - you can import data with PowerQuery, perform joins, configure relationships between multiple tables, then output that into a chart, table or pivot table. You can even put slicers on to let users interact with the data.

This is entirely automatable too, so if the underlying data changes you can just run the pipeline again.
Belief is accepting something as being true, for one reason or another. Some beliefs are based on faith, others on evidence.
Yeah, at that age it doesn't really matter what kills you - a life that long is something to be celebrated.
Haha same. I think the problem is that it seems to hit you all at once. I was pretty open minded and go with the flow until at least my early 30s, now I hate any kind of change at all.

Re: video games, I had a similar experience but play for different reasons. I used to have fun blasting people and chatting on xbox live... don't enjoy any of that anymore. All single player for me, and no FPS. A cool physics game like Rocket League(admittedly, not single player), or a puzzle game like The Turing Test, or a mystery game like Kona are way more interesting to me than say, Call of Duty.
Yea GPS Test is great!
I am glad everyone can agree, for different reasons, that minorities should be first in testing the novel vaccine.
For almost all tasks, yes.

But it differs a lot by task. The power of the spreadsheet model is that it is minimally acceptable for a wide array of tasks, not that it is usually optimal.
selling recent hardware with those bugs still there???
No. In State of New York being a person of colour is effectively a 'primary condition' towards the calculation regarding distribution of the more expensive antiviral therapies.

On the same level as 'not having had a vaccine'.

If you have had a vaccine, then you need to be 65+ and in very bad shape to get the antivirals.

Without the vaccine you need to be a 'person of colour' or have several seriously mitigating factors, like Diabetes, Cancer etc..

Especially since there is actually no apparent physiological difference between racial response to COVID, and that it seems to be entirely 'health' related ... it's really bad.

It's one thing to save the antivirals for those in 'really bad shape' - fine - but just define what that is, and don't use race as a crude proxy for it.

While I think the study that is posted here is perfectly reasonable, and discusses mostly issues of perception, the racial approach to rationing healthcare services is worth of discussion and much more. I'm surprised it has not gone to the Supreme Court.

We're 100% on the path to the Courts on this, and unless it comes out reasonable, there is going to be some serious existential problems in the Western World over this.
i installed pleroma on my 1 gb vps just today. havent had time to play with it but it is hopefully going to be a sanctuary for the family
This doesn’t support your claim…
They used to be the best but then ran their client software into the ground. Weirdly the Linux client is still the old school one and since I only use Linux it's fine for me.
Supabase is becoming quite impressive, I think the main thing missing is a native iOS/Android sdk.
It's not theoretical - coinbase, crypto.com, gemini, blockfi, etc.. all have debit cards. Use your crypto to buy stuff, get % rewards back in crypto as well.
I'm still mesmerized by microwave ovens. Sure, all of them now come with a chip, but that part is guaranteed 100% shit (I mean who the fuck designs these unergonomic monsters anyway!?)

But the magnetron in them is complex, has to be machined to a high precision, yet they are a pretty old piece of completely analog technology.
Spreadsheet grids are marvelous for presenting many kinds of data relevant to business. Specifically, tabular numerical data (rows of tuples with well-characterized columns). Spreadsheets are great for condensing and summarizing the minute details and aggregates spread across huge numbers of rows, and for highlighting patterns and trends.

And there are other very effective ways to present data. Hypertext, Gantt charts, and pie-charts for example, which Excel also supports.

But we don't use spreadsheet-grids for general programming. Programs (as we write them) are concerned with dependencies and control-flow and semi-structured hierarchies and naming lots of things. Programs are organized as a hierarchy - directories containing files containing the nested-pieces of the program, as text. And some parts of a program (state-machines, data-schemas, GUI layouts, date/control flows) are visualized as boxes containing labels with lines and arrows between them (and more labels). I'm surprised we don't have generic tools for that yet. Attempts have been made.

This is not to mention geometric/photographic/aural data.
A few releases ago, AirPods were significantly more reliable than other bluetooth headphones. Now I find that non-Apple bluetooth devices connect faster and stay connected much more reliably than Airpods.

Definitely seems like a bug that Apple introduced somewhat recently.
"Of course, the really interesting question in all of this is the holy grail of technical recruiting: Does performance in interviews reliably predict on-the-job performance? "

And until you can really say for sure this is the case, any speculation about the value of technical interviews other than just being a barrier to entry is really moot.
Numbers is great for lightweight tasks, there just isn't the functional richness of Excel there for more complicated spreadsheets.
I might have missed the point but the Mito demo just shows importing a CSV file into a common table/grid of cells? Seems like a semi-shamless plug that 100% avoids the topic of the post: is there a better visual data model than a grid of cells?

The EU also has sanction against Lebanon. These sanctions are typically against specific individuals and not the entire population.

This seems like protection that would not be needed if everything were written in Rust - or maybe even some other languages that aren't C.
This is dystopian. Apparently they are trying to send a teenager to jail because of a single tweet:

> Price previously admitted one count of sending a grossly offensive message by a public communication network at a hearing at Worcester magistrates court on 17 March.
I deleted my Facebook for the exact reason you describe. it was a graveyard and Facebook's didn't even have enough content it was recycling content for days....I only wanted it for groups and those were getting to be dead too...
Lol, you are asking a troll poster for a reference that "woke disease has brought us close to world war 3". What kind of response are you looking for?
Like others have said, I didn’t expect this article to be largely about mining crypto coins, I think they missed a larger more important point. I think it is an important point a lot of cryptocurrency deniers should consider.

It’s one thing if you live in a country with a strong, stable currency. Quite another if your local economy/ currency tend to be more volatile. Cryptocurrency can play an important and valuable role in protecting your wealth for those people.

Imagine your local currency’s value is tanking, or experiencing a period of hyper inflation. By shifting some of your wealth into a stable coin, or anything more stable than what you have, this can provide a huge benefit to the user.
I was curious what one of these would look like as a "regular" chart.

I think our intrinsic reluctance to fully consider genetic differences among populations is a massive confounder in nutritional (and medical) science. Modern human populations are far more genetically distinct than we are allowed to acknowledge. It's a deeply seated bias that pervades medical and social sciences and is the root of so many conflicting results.
That's where I think Rust could be a game changer, if all those deserialization libraries used in phone would be written in safe Rust it woudn't be an issue.
> Belief is accepting something to be true on the foundation of faith—not having direct evidence.

Most people will never understand the direct evidence of even relatively mundane science, and almost everyone is incapable of understanding the direct evidence of the cutting edge.[0] and its implications, ergo in lieu of understanding they must substitute belief. Where science policy/communication fails here is in producing a 'believable' system, with adequate consistency and storytelling for persons who will only ever understand by analogy.

[0]Regular people don't know what an integral is. The intelligent, educated, and motivated don't have the bandwidth to really understand more than a smattering topics deeply.
Just look at social side - that should be everyone's focus these days in my view as its the biggest area of weakness even among well off folks.

Everything else is irrelevant.

So, in order.

1) Does your partner support the move?

2) Do you have family, friends moving with you or whom you will be closer too?

3) Have you traveled to new destination / lived there a bit / have a small community there?

4) Is the community aligned in terms of values

It is easy to fantasize the positive about a new place without living / thinking of the negative.
Ask HN: How did Dropbox's 'epic' move from AWS work out?
Wondering if anyone here can shed more insight on how Dropbox's move away from AWS worked out 6 years on.

I am referring to

https://www.wired.com/2016/03/epic-story-dropboxs-exodus-amazon-cloud-empire/

and interested to learn more as we are considering a similar move to one of our clients.
>Curious why you look to be getting downvoted.

It doesn't really add anything to the discussion; the comment boils down to "conservatives bad".
Back in probably 2001 I bought a Medion notebook. It has really surprising specs for its price and, surprise surprise, it had full Linux support (this was more than 20 years ago!).

It as probably one of the top 5 acquisitions of my life.
I own the books and I read parts of it.

But regardless, my point was that there are many many things that people say every programmer should read, and that sometimes includes Knuth. In fact, so many things that even if I stop everything I'm doing and just keep reading everything "every programmer should read", I will die before I finish.

tl;dr: it was a (bad) joke.
Personally, as a (now relocated) Bay Area native, I agree. Over, I think there's still a lot of prestige for large Silicon Valley firms, even if some of the gloss has justifiably started to fade.

This article certainly assumes that myth is still in place.
Note that derivatives like futures add additional layers of emotion over the cash market.

In the cash market, prices are generally set to match supply and demand of the actual physical thing. Supply is what it is, and demand can go crazy in mysterious ways.

In a derivatives market, prices reflect the supply and demand of promises and expectations of the physical thing. You're buying and selling a completely abstract entity only loosely coupled to the physical thing. Here both supply and demand are driven by all sorts of mysterious whims.

Not to mention that derivatives markets tend to be designed for speculation.

Simple but really time consuming. Experienced engineers with responsibilities outside of work don't have time for that nonsense. It's hard enough to do ONE interview, let alone do tons of fake interviews in preparation. No other industry is like this - once you've proven yourself as an experienced professional/exec, if you want to swap to another company, you just have a chat.
There's a few fields, such as software engineering, where bullshit is in the long run difficult to hide. At the end of the day, you can either build a thing that does what people want or you can't. That is not true of most other fields. If your ideas about e.g. how to teach kids to read are wrong, it may be a long time before you're found out: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/03/opinion/kids-reading-spel....
It sets up an endless amount of "legitimate" strawmen that any side knock down to delegitimize/"debunk" their opposition. So the media plays a role in this too.

But I do agree that at least one of the main problems is that academics have the ability to sift through research while others don't. So better self policing and an easier way for the public to digest the information is probably what's needed here. I think the problem here is that the public don't trust the scientific community to self police.

>Further, the criticism of academia as being full of egg-headed elites who are completely disconnected from the public need has been around for decades - far longer than the current systemic funding and tenure problems.

I think the internet and social media just really took the mask off for a lot of people. The tribalism probably kicked into overdrive when they can just look researchers up and actually confirm that the scientists are part of their outgroup.
Contrary to what the US media and current US administration are saying, we had major issues before Russia invaded Ukraine. This idea that the Russia invasion is responsible for all these problems is ludicrous. Yes, it has made them worse but it is not the root cause. The fertilizer shortage was happening at the end of last year. You know the 4 months ago you quoted.

Thanks for that. Still looks significant, but much less striking.
You might be right but your citations of cinebench are misleading, geekbench has much different performance numbers, the m1 is only beaten by a brand new and much more power hungry/thermal cpu.

It’s also not exactly an indicator of real world performance which is why I avoided linking to benchmarks.

It's possible the M1 has been dethroned for single core performance, but what you link is not a good comparison.

Claims of future performance are going to be met with a clear shrug because ultimately I've been able to put my hands on an M1 for over a year, theoretical future CPUs are absolutely no consequence.

Additionally what is failed to mention here is how much battery life you get. Which, Apple is easily leading on.

I'm quite envious of the M1 to be perfectly honest, for the thermal envelope it's unbeaten, and its barely being challenged one year on. But you'll take my Dell Precision and my Linux installation from my cold dead hands.

"the complete lack of enforcement of what goes in supplements"

This is because of the oddly libertarian 1994 DSHEA act:

https://ods.od.nih.gov/About/dshea_Wording.aspx

From 1904 to 1994 the FDA was fairly strict about banning most herbal remedies. Indeed, the FDA was created, in part, to limit the types of "snake oil" treatments that used to abound, and to limit the claims that could made for unproven treatments. But DSHEA opened the door to unproven treatments. In theory, the companies behind these treatments are not allowed to make medical claims, but we've all seen them walk right up to the line and make claims that sound somewhat medical.
