I'm wondering whether it would be easier to run macOS in VM. No more fear of updates with snapshots, and I imagine ease of installation and less compatibility issues. Anyone does it, how's performance and keyboard "tunneling&

One thing that comes to mind is job interviews. When you apply to, say, a surgeon opening, certification and previous job experience is enough, no one asks you to perform homework surgery or list all the bones in human body.

No one does immutability with copying, that would be a joke. There is also nothing tricky about not copying full lists on append at userland lib, just more advanced data structures. Yes, it won't be as fast in modifying. But it will be

People value potential losses more than potential gains. Loosing $10 will affect you more intensely than finding it (or at least you judge it to be before the fact). So when something is on, there is a "loss" in missing it. When i
