Beeper Mini Is Back
I don't think they're using false or duplicate Apple devices for this. I think that it may be likely they are using AWS resources for it: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
When AWS first came out with these, this was my first thought. People could spin up an EC2 instance and use it for iMessage, and Beeper came to be shortly after this feature went live in AWS.

How can I play with macos e.g. in the cloud? Or any other way? I have windows and never used mac before.
AWS do have Mac instances you can use, although I'm not sure if you get the full macOS UI experience. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

Should I dual-boot Ventura for daily purposes?
If all you really need is to write swift, you could use something like https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX or https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
- Is it possible to create/terminate ec2 instances based on certain events?

Cheapest option for IOS development in 2023
I’m pretty sure that terms and conditions thing you’re worrying about is fake news. AWS offer Big Sur instances and they’re charged per second. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
- Will this code work on macOS??

Deploy to Google AppEngine with GitHubActions
This action runs using Node 16. If you are using self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, you must use runner version 2.285.0 or newer.

Ensuring Your E2E Tests Run On Every Code Push
This is the OS and version used for the virtual environment in which run our tests. I recommend always using a specific version, such as the latest stable version, rather than latest, which is risky because you may then suddenly start to see test failures caused by a version update that has nothing to do with your tests. See virtual-enviroments for the latest stable version.

How would you suggest running unit tests within containers in a CI AKS based considering docker.sock isn’t available anymore?
This, I setup Azure DevOps pipeline that clones this: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments Runs it in Linux servers, copies VHD into Storage Account, creates an image from it and makes it new image for Azure Scale Set. Runs every Monday Morning on timer.

Ask HN: How are you dealing with the M1/ARM migration?
I'm in a similar boat - love the performance/battery of my M1 MacBook Air, but the ecosystem is just too messy at the moment for me. I have a few tools I need to use that haven't yet been making official Apple Silicon releases due to GitHub actions not supporting Apple Silicon fully yet. The workaround involves maintaining two versions of homebrew, one for ARM and one for x86-64, and then being super careful to make sure you don't forget if you're working in an environment that's ARM and one that's X86. It's too much of a pain to keep straight for me (I admit it - I lack patience and am forgetful, so this is a bit of a "me" problem versus a tech problem).
My solution was to give up using my M1 mac for development work. It sits on a desk as my email and music machine, and I moved all my dev work to an x86 Linux laptop. I'll probably drift back to my mac if the tools I need start to properly support Apple Silicon without hacky workarounds, but until GitHub actions supports it and people start doing official releases through that mechanism, I'm kinda stuck.
It is interesting how much impact GitHub has had by not having Apple Silicon support. Just look at the ticket for this issue to see the surprisingly long list of projects that are affected. (See: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2187)

Any tool that can help me convert Azure ADO Pipelines to GitHub Actions YAML?
I'm not disputing your claim that it could be true as I say, it makes sense, there is even some evidence they are getting ready for feature parity as I said in my comment with the hosted agent builds but I am arguing the point with my "what aboutism" as it isn't clear.

Emacs 28.1's been cut
As for M1 support, I’m still waiting for GitHub to add M1-based GitHub Actions runners (issue).

Getting started with GitHub Actions and workflows
GitHub provides hosted runners which can run your workflow in different virtual environments. The "ubuntu-latest" environment already contains a recent version of Node.js which is ideal for testing JavaScript applications.
