Q: Does int main() need a declaration on C++? I was taught that functions need declarations to be called. To illustrate, the following example would give me an error as there is no declaration for the function sum:
#include <iostream>

int main() {
  std::cout << "The result is " << sum(1, 2);
  return 0;
}

int sum(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

// main.cpp:4:36: error: use of undeclared identifier 'sum'
//  std::cout << "The result is " << sum(1, 2);
//                                   ^
// 1 error generated.

To fix this, I'd add the declaration:
#include <iostream>

int sum(int x, int y); // declaration

int main() {
  std::cout << "The result is " << sum(1, 2);
  return 0;
}

int sum(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

Why the main function doesn't need the declaration, as other functions like sum need?

A: A definition of a function also implicitly declares it. If you need to reference a function before it is defined you need to declare it before you use it.
So writing the following is also valid:
int sum(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

int main() {
  std::cout << "The result is " << sum(1, 2);
  return 0;
}

If you use a declaration in one file to make a function known to the compiler before it is defined, then its definition has to be known at linking time:
main.cpp
int sum(int x, int y);

int main() {
  std::cout << "The result is " << sum(1, 2);
  return 0;
}

sum.cpp
int sum(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

Or sum could have its origin in a library, so you do not even compile it yourself.
The main function is not used/referenced in your code anywhere, so there is no need to add the declaration of main anywhere.
Before and after your main function the c++ library might execute some init and cleanup steps, and will call your main function. If that part of the library would be represented as c++ code then it would contain a declaration of int main() so that that it could be compiled. That code could look like this:
int main();

int __main() {
  __startup_runtime();

  main();

  __cleanup_runtime();
}

But then you again have the same problem with __main so at some point there is no c++ anymore and a certain function (main) just represents the entry point of your code.

A: A definition of a function is also a declaration of a function.
The purpose of a declaring a function is to make it known to the compiler. Declaring a function without defining it allows a function to be used in places where it is inconvenient to define it. For example:

*

*If a function is used in a source file (A) other than the one it is defined in (B), we need to declare it in A (usually via a header that A includes, such as B.h).

*If two or more functions may call each other, then we cannot define all those functions before the others—one of them has to be first. So declarations can be provided first, with definitions coming afterward.

*Many people prefer to put "higher level" routines earlier in a source file and subroutines later. Since those "higher level" routines call various subroutines, the subroutines must be declared earlier.

In C++, a user program never calls main, so it never needs a declaration before the definition. (Note that you could provide one if you wished. There is nothing special about a declaration of main in this regard.) In C, a program can call main. In that case, it does require that a declaration be visible before the call.
Note that main does need to be known to the code that calls it. This is special code in what is typically called the C++ runtime startup code. The linker includes that code for you automatically when you are linking a C++ program with the appropriate linker options. Whatever language that code is written in, it has whatever declaration of main it needs in order to call it properly.

A: Nope. You can't call it anyway.
You only need forward declarations for functions called before they are defined. You need external declarations (which look exactly like forward declarations on purpose) for functions defined in other files.
But you can't call main in C++ so you don't need one. This is because the C++ compiler is allowed to modify main to do global initialization.
[I looked at crt0.c and it does have a declaration for main but that's neither here nor there].

A:
I was taught that functions need declarations to be called.

Indeed. A function must be declared before it can be called.

why we don't add a declaration for the main function?

Well, you didn't call main function. In fact, you must not call main at all1, so there is never a need to declare main before anything.
Technically though, all definitions are also declarations, so your definition of main also declares main.

Footnote 1:  The C++ standard says it's undefined behaviour to call main from within the program.
This allows C++ implementations to put special run-once startup code at the top of main, if they aren't able to have it run earlier from hooks in the startup code that normally calls main.  Some real implementations do in fact do this, e.g. calling a fast-math function that sets some FPU flags like denormals-are-zero.
On a hypothetical implementation, calling main could result in fun things like re-running constructors for all static variables, re-initializing the data structures used by new/delete to keep track of allocations, or other total breakage of your program.  Or it might not cause any problem at all.  Undefined behaviour doesn't mean it has to fail on every implementation.

A: The prototype is required if you want to call the function, but it's not yet available, like sum in your case.
You must not call main yourself, so there is no need to have a prototype. It's even a bad a idea to write a prototype.

A: No, the compiler does not need a forward declaration for main().
main() is a special function in C++.
Some important things to remember about main() are:

*

*The linker requires that one and only one main() function exist when creating an executable program.

*The compiler expects a main() function in one of the following two forms:

int main () { /* body */ }
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { /* body */ }

where body is zero or more statements
An additional acceptable form is implementation specific and provides a list of the environment variables at the time the function is called:
int main (int argc, char* argv[], char *envp[]) { /* body */ }

The coder must provide the 'definition' of main using one of these acceptable forms, but the coder does not need to provide a declaration.  The coded definiton is accepted by the compiler as the declaration of main().

*If no return statement is provided, the compiler will provide a return 0; as the last statement in the function body.

As an aside, there is sometimes confusion about whether a C++ program can make a call to main().  This is not recommended.  The C++17 draft states that main() "shall not be used within a program."  In other words, cannot be called from within a program.  See e.g. Working Draft Standard for C++ Programming Language, dated "2017-03-21", Paragraph 6.6.1.3, page 66.  I realize that some compilers support this (including mine), but the next version of the compiler could modify or remove that behavior as the standard uses the term "shall not".

A: It is illegal to call main from inside your program.  That means the only thing that is going to call it is the runtime and the compiler/linker can handle setting that up.This means you do not need a prototype for main.

Our work inspires girls every day to be joyful, healthy and confident. What's amazing, though, is that without even realizing it, our GOTR girls inspire us too! Watch and share this video and get inspired!


There is a significant change in the industry taking place at the moment which harks back to the beginning of the market when companies were investing in each other to try and get a lead in their desired sub-market.
Recently Motoring Weekly discussed the investment made by Honda in GM's Cruise Automation division that followed a similar investment by SoftBank – who have a stake in most of the ride-sharing companies including Uber. Now we hear that Toyota has joined SoftBank by investing in Uber for a similar reason: they want Uber's self driving cars to get to market and clearly they want these "robotaxis" to be based on Toyota cars. To start with, Toyota will fit out several of their Sienna minivans with the Uber technology for testing.
What is interesting is that the minivans are going to be managed by a third party to distance itself from both Uber and Toyota. I can understand Uber wanting distance because they have had a run of bad news this year with changes at the top and issues around their own testing. I feel that Toyota is quite conservative about this direction and therefore would like another name to complete the testing before they start delivering this type of vehicle to the market.
Toyota's Research Institute has been developing a common stack of technologies that act in two ways: one they call "Guardian" which acts as a helper for the driver and another is called "Chauffeur" that acts as the driver (strange that). Guardian works quietly in the background and it is this version that will go into the minivans along with the Uber kit. The partners have created a new marketing name for the system: Autonomous mobility as a service or Autono-MaaS for short!
$500M has been earmarked for this next stage of testing and they have set a date for the introduction of the tech into the Uber eco-system to be in 2021. Toyota and Uber have had several tie-ups over the years with nothing concrete coming out of them, however I would consider each one to be a stepping stone to the main goal. One thing that is coming out of all these tie-ups is the fact that the major manufacturers have learned to live with their competition – in this case, Uber has an agreement with Volvo to use their cars – so having Toyota sign up to do a similar function must be an issue, certainly behind closed doors in Sweden!
Perhaps what we'll see in the future is a common technology stack from one or two providers that everyone uses.

Prober of Abu Ghraib Prison Scandal Wants 'War Crimes' Trial
by Romeo P. Marquez July 27, 2009
written by Romeo P. Marquez July 27, 2009
SAN DIEGO (July 27) — Five years and a new administration later, the specter of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq still haunts the national consciousness, refusing to die even as the man who had investigated it now shies away from aggressively pursuing the course of justice.
Manila-born Antonio M. Taguba, a major-general in the United States Army forced into retirement in 2007, is hopeful the "war crimes" being blamed on top officials of the (George W.) Bush administration would be prosecuted and the responsible officials held to account.
While he advocates a follow-through, the 58-year-old gentleman who minced no words in articulating what he found that incriminated high-level officials, said he was not pushing hard on a "war crimes" trial, preferring to leave the decision to the government of President Barack Obama.
"To do so," he explained in an interview on Saturday (July 25) evening aboard the USS Midway (now converted into a museum) anchored off San Diego Bay, "would be political". Taguba stressed he's a professional soldier and even in retirement, he would not wade in politics.
Early this year, he proposed creating an independent commission to investigate "war crimes" committed in Iraq by senior officials of the Bush White House.
Asked to identify the people in the Bush administration whom he knew had been involved in committing atrocities against inmates in Abu Ghraib prison, Taguba responded: "They know who they are". He declined to name them.
Taguba had reported the results of his investigation in what has popularly become the "Taguba Report" detailing the harsh and cruel punishment inflicted by American servicemen on captured Iraqi soldiers.
In a preface to a report by the Physicians for Human Rights in June last year — four years after his explosive account had leaked in 2004 — Taguba wrote: "There is no longer any doubt that the current (Bush) administration committed war crimes. The only question is whether those who ordered torture will be held to account".
Taguba disclosed that some people in the Obama government are "already looking into it" — a move that may or may not lead to criminal prosecution of the guilty parties.
When he mentioned that latest development, the general had a smile on his face that seemed to say he was pleased.
Taguba was in San Diego — his fourth visit here — as an honoree of this year's Asian Heritage Awards sponsored by the regional newspaper Asia, the Journal of Culture and Commerce.
Asia editor Leonard Novarro said Taguba exemplified the "profiles of courage" that the late President John F. Kennedy had institutionalized as a way of recognizing individuals for their moral uprightness.
"I'm trying to be low-key," he said, dodging suggestions that he has become an iconic role model , particularly in Filipino communities across the United States where he is looked up to. (Philippine Village Voice)

WITHIN TEMPTATION's SHARON DEN ADEL Speaks To EMP ROCK INVASION (Video)
EMP Rock Invasion recently conducted an interview with vocalist Sharon Den Adel of Dutch symphonic rockers WITHIN TEMPTATION. You can now watch the chat below.
WITHIN TEMPTATION's new album, "Hydra", sold around 15,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 16 on The Billboard 200 chart.
WITHIN TEMPTATION's previous CD, "Unforgiving", opened with 12,000 units back in March 2011 to land at No. 50.
"Hydra" was released in North America on February 4 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the new U.S. partnership between Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger and former Roadrunner Records A&R chief Monte Conner. The album was made available in several luxury formats. The cover artwork was created by Romano Molenaar ("X-Men", "Batman", "The Unforgiving").
The digital premium album, complete with digi-booklet, was made available on iTunes and includes 18 audio tracks and a music video. The digital premium album features bonus "Evolution Versions" of four new songs, which contain audio commentary from guitarist Robert Westerholt and singer Sharon Den Adel and give you unique access to the development of the songs, their lyrical inspiration and the sound of the initial demos and vocals.
In a recent interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com, WITHIN TEMPTATION vocalist Sharon Den Adel stated about the songwriting process for "Hydra"": "A lot of bands were inspired by the '80s at the time we were writing 'The Unforgiving' album. There was a lot of music based on the '80s coming out and it had a lot of '80s flavors. With this new album, even though we're only a few years further up the road, you can feel that music has changed again. Music is not inspired on the '80s, but more like there are different influences in the music again. Music's always organic, and you feel things are changing comfortably."
She added: "When people asked us after 'The Unforgiving', 'Are you gonna make another 'Unforgiving' album?" we said, 'Of course.' Because we were really full of it in a positive way. We really like the album a lot and still do like it a lot but we really feel there's an '80s feel to the songs. When we started writing this album, again we felt like we were already knowing we were gonna go a different direction also."

Over thirty years ago, a group of five Englishmen and one wayward American, re-wrote the rules of comedy. Monty Python's Flying Circus, an unheralded, previously unseen and practically unprogrammed half hour of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations first appeared on the BBC late one night in 1969. Its impact on the world has been felt ever since.
From its humble beginnings as late night entertainment on a British TV channel that went off the air before midnight, it blossomed into arguably the most influential movement in modern comedy. They found the Holy Grail, they detailed the life of the Savior-also-ran Brian, and when we were lost, they explained The Meaning of Life.
Now, those purveyors of dead parrots and silly walks are going to tell us something more: Their story. In their own, intimate, never before heard words.
The Pythons by The Pythons is a unique look at arguably the most important comic team of the modern age, lavishly illustrated with 1000 photographs and illustrations, many culled from the teams' own personal collections, many seen here for the first time. A tome, a tombstone, the definitive word on all things Python, as told by all things Python - do you want Spam with that?


Name the Product Group to something relevant e.g Products over $100 or Weight over 5 kg so you know what it is. Or use the same name as the Shipping Policy or Promotion you want to use it for.
Now define the products in the group.
Weight - e.g if you want products over 5kg put 5 in the Minimum Weight field. For a range, e.g 2-5 kg, put 2 in the min and 5 in the Max field.
SKU: Only put SKU's in here if you want to specify the SKUs for the group, otherwise just use the criteria available. See Notes on SKU below to make sure you're using the correct data field.
Category - this includes your Retailer Categories on your ecommerce site and also the Category they are mapped to on the marketplace chosen e.g eBay. Just start typing and the categories will display. You can choose multiple categories.
Brand - start typing and brands will start appearing. You can choose more than one Brand.
To confirm a product has been added to a product group, search for the product in the product table and click through to the page with the full product details.
Scroll to the Product View Table - see example below.
To find out the SKU, go to the Products table - the highlighted number is the SKU in our system.
The actual field in Shopify and Bigcommerce called SKU is not a mandatory field nor a required field, for this reason some retailers do not populate the SKU field. Our App must have a SKU as part of the eBay listing requirement and because we cannot rely on these platforms providing that data via the SKU field we use the Product ID to create a SKU in eBay LINK.

Human-Cells are the fundamental building blocks of the human-body. There are about 10 trillion cells of about 200 different types in the human-body. The fundamental objective of human-cells is to sustain the survival of the human-body. Consequently, the cells are constantly working to maintain the primordial equilibrium necessary to realize survival. In the cells, are the substances the cells need to carry out their cellular work and the work horses are the proteins known as enzymes. In fact, the human-cell is a micro-lab in which myriad chemical reactions are made possible by enzymes.
The containership of the human-cell; the identity expressed by the substances in the human-cell (DNA); the work expressed by the chemical reactions in the human-cell and the survival realized by the work; are expressions of PJ Problems. Consequently, human-cells are expressions of Pj Problems.


Contura Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CTRA), a leading U.S. coal supplier, recently stated results for the 4th quarter and full-year 2K18 through December 31, 2K18.
The following 4th quarter results reflect a full quarter of Contura results and a partial quarter of Alpha results post-merger. Contura has four reportable segments: Central Appalachia (CAPP) – Met, CAPP – Thermal, Northern Appalachia (NAPP), and Trading and Logistics (T&L).
Total revenues in the 4th quarter were $572.1M. Coal revenues in the 4th quarter, apart from freight and handling fulfillment revenues, were $479.2M, with CAPP – Met coal revenues accounting for $247.2M, T&L accounting for $106.4M, and NAPP coal revenues totaling $89.9M. CAPP – Thermal revenues were $35.7M for a partial 4th quarter 2K18. Comparatively, in the 4th quarter 2K17, CAPP – Met revenues were $90.2M, T&L revenues were $141.1M, and NAPP revenues were $61.1M of the $292.4M in total coal revenues.
CAPP – Met coal shipments for the 4th quarter 2K18 were 2.1M tons at an average per ton realization of $119.37, difference to 0.8M tons at $109.09 per ton in the previous year's 4th quarter. Contura shipped 2.0M tons of NAPP coal throughout the quarter at an average per-ton realization of $45.63, up from 1.4M tons at $43.89 per ton in the 4th quarter 2K17. CAPP – Thermal shipments for a partial quarter were 0.6M tons. In the T&L segment, coal volumes were 0.8M tons in the 4th quarter of 2K18, down from 1.2M tons in the 4th quarter 2K17. 4th quarter 2K18 included Alpha-related T&L sales only through the merger closing on November 9, after which they are accounted for as part of captive CAPP – Met sales. The average T&L realization raised from $115.37 per ton in the previous year's 4th quarter to $127.88 per ton throughout the 4th quarter 2K18.
Freight and handling fulfillment revenues in the 4th quarter 2K18 were $95.1M difference with $56.0M in the previous year period.
Total costs and costs throughout the 4th quarter 2K18 were $554.7M and cost of coal sales was $366.7M, difference with $304.9M and $245.2M, respectively, in the similar period a year ago. The cost of coal sales in CAPP – Met for the quarter averaged $84.14 per ton, up from $74.68 in the previous year period. CAPP – Met costs include $0.49 per ton in idle costs.
The main drivers of raised costs as compared to last year expectations were higher labor costs, which accounted for about $4.00 a ton of the raised costs, and higher supply and maintenance costs, which raised costs by about $3.50 per ton. Also, higher sales-related costs resulting from strong metallurgical coal realizations contributed to higher costs per ton by about $1.00. CAPP – Thermal cost of coal sales averaged $67.40 per ton in the 4th quarter 2K18, counting idle costs of $0.32 per ton, and were elevated because of accelerated reclamation at a surface mine.
NAPP cost of coal sales was $32.64 per ton difference with $46.04 per ton in the year-ago period, which was negatively influenced by a formerly revealed roof fall. In the T&L segment, the cost of coal sales throughout the 4th quarter 2K18 was $101.68 per ton as compared to $97.62 per ton in the 4th quarter 2K17.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs for the 4th quarter 2K18 were $15.8M, up from $11.4Min the year-ago period. The year-ago period included about $2.7M in non-cash stock compensation and charges related to the company's incentive plan. Included in the SG&A costs for the 4th quarter 2K18 is about $3.1M in non-cash stock compensation.

The Commission's 'White Paper on the Future of Europe' outlines five scenarios for a 'new chapter' of European union for the EU27, but fails to answer the key question – what do citizens want from Europe.
Despite European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's call for "leadership, unity and common resolve" in taking the EU27 forward after Brexit and the White Paper's stated aim to "advance our project in the interests of our citizens", his five scenarios for the future of the EU – 'carrying on', 'nothing but the single market', 'those who want more do more', 'doing less more efficiently' and 'doing much more together' – reflect the realism of working for a compromise between 27 Member States rather than a true vision of a Europe for its citizens.
What the paper does well is to identify the challenges for Europe and its citizens in the near future and restate the case for European union in a changing and uncertain world. Whether it is a falling share of the world economy, aging populations, technological progress, security concerns or declining levels of legitimacy in mainstream politics and institutions, Europe must be "quicker to interact with citizens, be more accountable and deliver better and faster on what has been collectively agreed".
Since it was published on 1 March, conflicting reports have stated that the true purpose of the White Paper is to support either a 'multi-speed Europe' (Scenario 3) or 'more Europe' (Scenario 5), although 'carrying on' (Scenario 1) would be the default option.
But to what extent do the scenarios address the main concerns of citizens, which, according to the Autumn Eurobarometer, rank as immigration, terrorism and the economy?
Divisions over the future of the EU were apparent at the informal meeting of the EU27 on 10 March. Member States are split, with some preferring to "loosen intra-EU ties" and others wanting "deeper dimensions of integration".
A 'multi-speed Europe' – 'those who want more do more' – has been touted by President Juncker in the past as a solution to the divergent priorities of the Member States, but would not be welcomed across the EU. The Visegrad countries, in particular, fear that a multi-speed Europe would cement existing divisions between Member States and lead directly to disintegration. Furthermore, citizens' rights, and the EU's ability to respond to citizens' concerns, would depend on where people lived, as acknowledged in the very paper, and there could be issues around accountability and transparency due to there being different layers of decision-making.
Conversely, 'doing much more together' would extend citizens' rights under EU law and enable the EU to function more effectively and efficiently in responding to citizens' concerns. However, questions of legitimacy may offset any improvements to the functioning of the EU.
The major drawback of 'carrying on' is that, though it would continue a "positive agenda" and make "incremental progress" on the economy, security and immigration, it would do little to counter the rise of populism in the EU and would not guarantee that the "gap between promise and delivery" will be closed. Given the political juncture in Europe and the constant threats to the European project, a 'business-as-usual' approach, as this scenario outlines, is not an option as it could lead to the collapse of the EU.
Of the other, less likely, scenarios, both 'nothing but the single market' and 'doing less more efficiently' would result in a more focused and less active Union, whilst the former may lead to the rights of EU citizens becoming restricted over time. Both may continue to increase economic integration, but would weaken the EU's capacity to act on immigration and terrorism.
One way of doing this would be to use crowdsourcing to solicit the views of EU citizens. ECAS' study on crowdsourcing emphasises the value of this tool for engaging the unengaged and reducing the gap between EU decision-makers and citizens. This could, in turn, transform the relationship between them into more of a partnership and address one of the key objectives of the White Paper – to restore trust, build consensus and create a sense of belonging.
As the White Paper states, Europe needs to "speak with one voice", stand up for "free and progressive trade", build an "inclusive, competitive, resilient and future-proof" economy, develop social rights to keep pace with "the changing world of work", reignite trust in free movement and close the gap between promise and delivery. It can only do this with the consent of its citizens.

After High Schools register for the program, they are presented with a list of countries available from which to make their preference selections. Security Council countries, because of their limited number and vital role, may only be represented by schools that have previously participated in the program. Schools are encouraged to involve their students in this selection process to develop early "ownership" by the students. The Model United Nations ("MUN") country assignments are based on a variety of considerations, including school preference, previous participation, geographic balance and issue support.
After country assignment is accomplished, student delegates choose the committee, and, therefore, the issues they want to research. During this period coaches assist students in their research efforts. The two issues for each of the committees and councils are generated by the FGCU academic advisor Dr. Richard Coughlin and are based on current world situations. The issues set the agenda for the Conference.
At each of the council/committee meetings judges are present to evaluate the student delegates' performances. Awards are presented at the end of the Conference to the students judged to be the best performing delegates. Read what a previous winner has to say about MUN.

Q: Convergence or divergence of series $ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} {1/ n -\cos (1/n)}$ Does the following series converge or diverge or oscillate?
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} {1/ n -\cos (1/n)}$$
Since
$$ \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} 1/n-\cos (1/n) = -1  $$
This means the series will not converge. But how to tell whether it will diverge or oscillate? Can it be said that if successive terms of series are decreasing (as the case here is), then the series will diverge or converge only but will not oscillate? if yes, is there any formal proof of this assertion?

Q: Импорт TS файлов из npm модуля Возникла потребность разбить TS проект на несколько репозиториев/пакетов, и из различных их комбинаций строить микросервисы. Какие-то пакеты нужны в одном микросервисе, какие-то в другом, какие-то во всех.
При деплое код компиллируется и исполняются JS файлы (естесственно).
Но теперь получается, что если в подключаемом пакете просто из TS файла экспортировать какой-то код, то при исполнении скомпиллированного микросервиса возникает ошибка, т.к. код микросервиса пытается что-то импортировать из внешней библиотеки и не находит JS файла с таким содержанием.
И для корректной работы такой системы мне нужно не просто вносить изменения в TS код подключаемых пакетов, но и билдить их, пушить в репозиторий скомпиллированный код и публиковать npm пакет так же включающий этот скомпиллированный код.
Что неудобно, выглядит странно, и еще про это легко забыть.
Есть ли способ организовать репозитории/npm пакеты таким образом, чтобы публиковать (и следить за актуальностью) только TS код, а при компилляции микросервиса из импорта вытягивался TS код и JavaScript генерился бы один раз в одном месте при деплое?

A:
Есть ли способ организовать репозитории/npm пакеты таким образом, чтобы публиковать (и следить за актуальностью) только ts код, а при компилляции микросервиса из импорта вытягивался ts код и джаваскрипт генерился бы один раз в одном месте при деплое?

Конечно есть, вы можете в пакет положить что угодно, хоть фотки вашей собаки в детстве, хоть исполняемые файлы. Вопрос зачем?
npm пакет - это некий готовый к использованию код, который уже собран и не требует дополнительных действий для использования. Достаточно импортировать/подключить его и все готово. Если же вы положите в пакет только ts то при использовании придется обязательно иметь компиляцию ts, а если в проекте не используется ts? Получится оверхед ради одного пакета.

И для корректной работы такой системы мне нужно не просто вносить
  изменения в ts код подключаемых пакетов, но и билдить их, пушить в
  репозиторий скомпиллированный код и публиковать npm пакет так же
  включающий этот скомпиллированный код.

А вы как именно тестируете код, который написали в рамках самого пакета? Почему сборка ts > js выглядит странной? У ts есть параметр watch которые сразу же перекомпилирует файлы, когда они поменялись + еще и типы сбилдит.  Поэтому сразу же при написании кода у вас будет собираться готовый js в папочке dist.

публиковать npm пакет так же включающий этот скомпиллированный код

Пакеты не обязательно публиковать, можно ставить через file:path/to/local/module. Тогда все что нужно будет сделать, это переустановить пакет
rm -rf nodu_modules && npm install local_module
// либо обновить версию пакета и запустить
npm update

Добавьте компиляцию ts в package.json
"scripts": {
  "ts-build": "ts --watch"
}

А дальше, там где нужно подключить пакет используете локальный путь
"dependencies": {
  "local_module": "file:path/to/module"
}

Что бы ваш пакет воспринимался как ts можно воспользоваться сборкой типов + полем types в package.json

A: В package.json надо указать
"main": "some-file.ts",

тогда при установке пакета и иморте из него будет использоваться код на typescript'е. При этом держать в репозитории скомпилированный код вообще не потребуется (впрочем, стоит убедиться в одинаковости версии тайпскрипта между проектами).
Чтобы запустить тайпскриптовый код можно использовать tsnode (если речь идёт о бэкенде). В случае же с webpack'ом только непосредственно вебпаковский проект будет компилироваться в js, а все зависимости себе он будет подтаскивать в виде ts и перекомпилировать сам.

A: Видимо способов много. Я пока для себя придумал следующий. Прикрутил github actions на автоматическую сборку и закидывание в npm при пуше в мастер. Надо бы еще доработать чтобы все это происходило только если версия поменялась, но уже спать хочется (да и так сработает, т.к. если версия не поменялась то паблиш с ошибкой упадет, просто пайплайн долго крутиться будет).
Вот первая версия yaml файла для экшена:

  push:
    branches: [ master ]

Нефтепрово́д Балаханы — Черный город — первый нефтепровод Российской империи, построенный осенью 1878 года на нефтепромыслах Апшеронского полуострова в районе Баку по заказу братьев Нобель — Роберта и Людвига по проекту и под техническим руководством инженера Владимира Шухова.

Трубопровод соединил район нефтедобычи Балаханского месторождения на Апшеронском полуострове и нефтеперерабатывающие заводы Чёрного города на окраине Баку (Бакинская губерния, современный Азербайджан). Введён в эксплуатацию в конце 1878 года.

История

После того, как Роберт Нобель начал перерабатывать нефть с Балаханского месторождения, он понял, что транспортировка в бочках медленная, дорогая и грязная. Летом 1876 года по результатам поездки на Апшеронский полуостров Людвиг Нобель написал аналитическую записку «Взгляд на бакинскую нефтяную промышленность и ее будущность», в которой определил следующие направления работы: отказ от транспортировки нефти гужевым транспортом (арбами в бурдюках и бочках) и строительство нефтепроводов от промыслов до нефтеперегонных заводов; сооружение железных резервуаров для хранения нефти и нефтепродуктов; более широкое использование нефтяных остатков (мазута) для отопления и газового производства; коренное улучшение качества керосина; внедрение наливной перевозки нефти в вагонах-цистернах, речных и морских судах; создание разветвленной структуры для хранения и сбыта нефтепродуктов в России.

После отказа других фирм участвовать в проекте фирма Нобелей реализовала его самостоятельно, с помощью строительной конторы инженера А. В. Бари «Бари, Сытенко и Ко». В результате строительства нефтепровода тысячи перевозчиков бочек теряли работу, и оно вызвало сопротивление, вредительство и поджоги со стороны владельцев гужевого транспорта на бакинских нефтепромыслах. Несмотря на это, нефтепровод был построен в кратчайшие сроки в течение осени и начала зимы 1878 года. Для защиты нефтепровода были построены многочисленные караульные будки.

Проект В.Г. Шухова включал в себя сооружение технической инфраструктуры по трассе нефтепровода, и первые в мире цилиндрические резервуары-нефтехранилища. При строительстве первых нефтепроводов Шухов разработал основы первой в мире научной теории и практики проектирования, строительства и эксплуатации магистральных трубопроводов. В статье «Нефтепроводы» (1884) и в книге «Трубопроводы и их применение в нефтяной промышленности» (1894) Шухов привёл точные математические формулы для описания процессов протекания по трубопроводам нефти и мазута, создав классическую теорию нефтепроводов.

Первый российский нефтепровод имел протяжённость около 10 километров (8,5 версты) и диаметр 3 дюйма (7,62 см). Стальные трубы нефтепровода были соединены с помощью муфт и нарезных концов. Нефтепровод мог перекачивать с помощью парового насоса до 80 тысяч пудов (1 280 тонн) нефти в сутки. В декабре 1878 года по нему было перекачено 841 150 пудов нефти, в 1879 году — 5 млн 583 тыс. пудов. Если в 1876 году фирма Нобелей вывезла из Баку 6 тыс. 248 пудов керосина, то в 1879 году — 551 тыс. 428 пудов керосина и 466 тыс. 673 пуда нефтяных остатков.

С вводом в действие первого нефтепровода расходы на доставку нефти с промыслов до нефтеперерабатывающего завода на окраине Баку сократились более, чем в 5 раз. Уже в 1879 году вводится в эксплуатацию второй нефтепровод «Балаханы — Чёрный город» протяженностью 12,9 км, диаметром 70 мм, а затем еще три: «Балаханы — Сураханский завод», «Сураханский завод — Зыхская коса» и «Балаханы — Чёрный город». Проектировал и строил эти нефтепроводы также Владимир Шухов.

"Once we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences, we can enjoy the best things in life." (Harry Hepner, from The Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude; S. Breathnach, 1996).
So there it is….the key to happiness, or certainly one of them, is gratitude, and science can back it up! An article in Harvard Health Publishing (online) called "In Praise of Gratitude" reports that two psychologists conducted research by asking participants i n three groups to record daily what they were grateful for, irritated by, or felt neutral about; those who recorded what they were grateful for were more optimistic, felt better about their lives and exercised more. Other research described in the same article reported that gratitude can improve relationships by increasing positive feelings about the person, the relationship in general, and by fostering greater comfort in talking about concerns within the relationship (https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/in-praise-of-gratitude).
The article also goes on to describe other ways of cultivating gratitude including practicing a gratitude meditation, which trains the mind for greater positivity. Our thoughts have the power to shape our brains! Negative thoughts are like Velcro (they stick), and positive ones are like Teflon (slide away), so the more you practice gratitude, the more new neural pathways in your brain you will create – we need to actively focus on the positive thoughts and experiences more in order to make them stick!
Gratitude helps us in other ways as well. Better energy and self-esteem, improved self-care, improved immune function and decreased blood pressure, among others (The Transformative Power of Gratitude, online – see above link).
Gratitude overlaps with generosity and the practice of mindfulness. Gratitude has the mindset of I have (as opposed to I don't have) which shifts our attention from being driven to be busy, to one of peace and contentment, say Wolf and Serpa in their book A Clinician's guide to Teaching Mindfulness, 2015). Once we believe we have enough, giving becomes more spontaneous, which in turns circles back to how gratitude can enhance relationships. And on a mindful note, the best time to practice gratitude is the present – when you are actually experiencing it – being present and mindful in your day-to-day life.
"…. If what we are now has been the result of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act". (Swami Vivekananada, 1863-1902, India. From 1001 Pearls of Yoga Wisdom, Lark, L., 2008, p. 49). If you want experience contentment and feel better about your life….practice gratitude!

Hedging Plants near London
A hedge or hedgerow is a line of closely spaced shrubs and tree species, planted and trained in such a way as to form a barrier or to mark the boundary of an area. Hedges used to separate a road from adjoining fields or one field from another, and of sufficient age to incorporate larger trees, are known as hedgerows. It is also a simple form of topiary.
A lot of popular shrubs can be used as a hedge, such as photinia and viburnum tinus. These provide an evergeen alternative to a fence or wall. There are many traditional hedging plants such as ligustrum (privet), crataegus (hawthorn) and fagus (beech) which will offer a changing boundary line as their appearance shifts with the seasons.
Plants such as pyracantha (firethorn) and crataegus are great for security as they have vicious thorns that would deter any intruder.
We must not forget the much meligned conifer cupressus leylandii. This plant receives a lot of bad press mostly caused by people who do not maintain them properly. The leylandii is a perfect quick growing evergreen hedging plant which will not turn into a monster if pruned two or three times a year.
We no longer stock buxus (box) which was traditionally used in the kitchen gardens of large estates as borders between there herb beds, formally to edge rose gardens and even in the construction of mazes. This was a perfect shrub for a low hedge with an average growth rate of around 3cm(1") a year but it has suffered heavily in rcent years from buxus blight & buxus caterpillar. Controlling both of these issues is expensive & in many cases, not particularly environmentally friendly. So until some more effective environmentally sound methods of control become widely available, we have taken the decision to shift from buxus to Ilex crenata cultivars which provide an extremely similar result. Growth rates of Ilex crenata varies across cultivars but most are very slow like buxus and are resilient to pruning making them the ideal alternative.
