Darling trying to get MacOS apps running on Linux. This prompts the obvious question of... why would anyone want something made for macOS somewhere else?
I'm sure I'm missing something, but wouldn't the same apply to Windows apps - why would anyone want something made for Windows OS to run somewhere else?
There are so many apps for Windows and only Windows. Lots of good stuff made there. Is there anything of value made exclusively for Mac? Once in a while Mac gets something good ported from Windows, but that is nearly the extent of it. Apple's own apps, which might be okay, are likely to be licensed in such a way as to preclude running them on Linux. Anything else, you'd expect anything that is Mac-only to be only viable in that ecosystem.

It looks like the purpose of this is for migration... not for running production servers on VMWare on Azure... not sure exactly what that means. If I had a production server running on VMWare, I wouldn't need to migrate it to VMWare on Azure first, before migrating it to Hyper-V.
I suppose if they make it so there is no down time, I can see the benefit, or maybe for migration of hundreds or thousands of servers to Azure.
Ah well, we'll see.

A British firm has released the first photos of its Fitbit-style condom that measures a man’s performance in bed.
The high-tech jimmy jacket — which looks like a small rubber bracelet — logs data during sex and sends it to the user’s smartphone, according to the creators of the i.Con Smart Condom, which released images of it Tuesday.
The reusable, one-size-fits-all band measures the number of calories burned during sex, the speed of a man’s thrusts and how long he lasts, lead engineer Adam Levers told the UK Metro.
