A comment on Catalina VM.

There's two articles [1] now on the front page of HN from this bit-101.com domain and they both seem pretty basic for HN. The other one is just about some guy installing a third party CPU cooler. No new tech, nothing interesting about the cooler, he just found it works better than the stock one. This article walks through using a shell script he found on GitHub to virtualize MacOS and his install and his very unscientific opinions on performance. Where's the beef?

HN is not a homogeneous mass anymore and not everyone has experience with everything already.

The usefulness of this article probably depends on what you take away from it. That you can viably run OSX in a VM was certainly news to me.

Yeah, I'm the author of those articles. Sorry they are not beefy enough for you, but I'm not the one submitting them here. In fact, HN is not a site I usually visit at all. This is just my personal blog where I post stuff that I find interesting.

From the HN Guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

Oh, and I think you meant "There are two articles".
