The compiler won't be a build system? I'm not quite so sure. We already have -MD in gcc to emit Makefile rules for the dependencies of the current file. It's not much of a stretch to propose a similar flag to emit a list of required modules. In fact the very same flag could emit a foo.bmi target requirement when you "import foo" and your Makefile should have foo.bmi as one of the products of compiling the foo module. You could also have a similar flag that tells you what modules are built from the current cpp file given some compiler options.

Increased yields, increased disease resistance, decreased maintenance (e.g. pesticide use).

Why are GMO plants made more resistant to herbicides? In order to enable more efficient utilization of them. For instance, AFAIK Roundup is less toxic than most other stuff people spray on plants, and it replaces the use of that other stuff.
It has everything to do with that, because we can see the source and see whether it does anything like that, and build it from source ourselves.

> most people paid money to subscribe to newspapers and magazines?

To a few. Many cities had multiple newspapers, but very few people subscribed to more than one or to any other city's. Now the industry seems to expect that people will shell out for many more separate subscriptions.

> people were subscribed to a daily paper, 1 or 2 monthly magazines

One difference is that broadcast news was most people's primary source of news for a long time, and it was free. Also, people could buy one issue of a newspaper or magazine, at any box or news stand or grocery-store checkout line. No need for a subscription. No need to pay that ongoing cost, either in terms of money or in terms of risk for personal-data compromise.

The subscription model as it commonly exists - separate, permanent, all or nothing - is going to kill its users. Shared subscriptions ("5 stories per month on any of these sites") are going to be an absolute must. Limited-duration subscriptions will probably be necessary too. A single story is too granular, but single-week or single-month might work.

I'm sure the papers have done their own analyses and concluded that those approaches would bring in less revenue. That might even be true, if they consider their own subscription in isolation and only in the present day. The problem is that "subscription fatigue" is a problem across many subscriptions and is going to become worse over time. If their models don't account for that, their models are broken.

Yeah see in my opinion a monthly contract that has a minimum duration of a year is not a monthly contract. I don't believe in that. So I just charged back all of the billings.

Adobe software was expensive before they introduced subscriptions. There were always cheaper alternatives available but Adobe had lock-in through their file formats and product familiarity.

In many ways I can see the products are better because of subscriptions. It takes away the need to pile on new features in order to justify selling upgrades. Instead they can focus on retaining existing users by fixing bugs and annoyances and adding real improvements.
That sounds a bit reductionist, as if 'heavy use of monadic interfaces' would be kind of a silver bullet. There's a lot of concepts to internalize before being able to build large scale systems using categorical abstractions: Monads, monad transformers, free monads, applicatives, arrows, ...

When to choose what? Probably leave the choice to library-implementors mostly. Still, should the bar to implement a library be set so high? The middle ground seems to be what e.g. Rust is doing. No explicit categorical types, use functions where functions make sense, i.e. for most stuff that isn't I/O.
Many of the big web services companies that develop software use such as AWS, Mailchimp, Sendgrid et al work around this idea. A lot of people decided to build startups. Those started first servicing a handful of startups and were able to grow and sell to Fortune 100 companies.

In the Blockchain hype era for example building KYC tools, social media marketing consulting for Crypto or coinmarketcap and so on, as others have suggested would have worked well.

You will generally want to provide a service that people would pay for in order to build their "great scheme masterplan", meanwhile others will try to do as well and eat their market, becoming your customers as well. While they race to the bottom in pricing and become unicorns, you take their money and grow your business silently.

Instead of making a brewing company in a city where there is a lot of hype, consider owning stocks of the local water/wheat etc provider, because the beer hype will drive up prices of other things as when people compete, they take investment and try to grow fast in the promise of huge returns, meanwhile you sell those to everyone that bought the hype with less investment and if there is a champion on this battle, you can sell as well your business to the winner. Looks like a decent strategy if you ask me.

For now, to be honest, we are more like heading to recession so I would rather look into servicing people in debt or looking for ways to save money, avoid losing too much in the crisis and so on. More like selling wipers to the people who are crying in a time of crisis than shovels in a gold rush.
True, but predatory church groups abound. Motivations for helping people with addictions ranges from compassion, to dispassioned dominance and exploitation, with most being somewhere in between (money).

I'm pretty sure they are all privately owned by the landowner (usually a sporting estate, although some are in areas owned by conservation groups e.g. Ryvoan) - even if they are maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association.

NB The default in Scots law is for any building to belong to the landowner even if someone else builds it so even if someone did build a hut somewhere it would still end up being owned by whoever owns the land.

> I only read one of the opposing papers whenever I get a chance.

A point to this is that a "good" paper also publishes op-eds from "the other side" And sometimes those are really well written, really trying to convince you instead of just preaching the choir.

The thing I saw often pre-Internet was that people had a local paper, a national paper and maybe a weekly magazine/paper.

I myself currently am subscribed (as in paying, my RSS Reader has lots more) a local epaper and a national weekly printed paper. The later is nice (except I often disagree with many views stated) as it lives outside the fast breaking news cycle of the inline world and by being paper I really look through it (unless I spend too much time elsewhere ...) page by page instead of quickly scrolling through my RSS feed or quickly scanning over news sites.

And that's the reason the industry is dead -- the model is unsustainable.

Here's what I'm willing to do:

* you commit to writing one interesting piece a day. I pay you a $1 a year.

I will probably be willing to do it for a hundred authors. I figure that's like 20 cappuccinos a year. I will probably be willing to do the same for 100 video producers ( i like cooking videos, video reviews of products and photography/video videos ) and probably a few other things. But there's no way I'm paying for Philadelphia Inquirer -- Will and Trudy spew the same kind of content I can read in the Opinion section of New York Times or SFC and I am not paying for it twice.
Those are good questions, I should have written more about that in the article! I'll give some brief answers:

Regarding the age of the converter: Even though it is new it is thought through. Check out the detailed documentation and technical articles on the website for an explanation. The converter basically deals with floating point computations carefully and in a way programmers commonly deal with them when doing scientific computations.

The reimplemented standard library are methods such as draw a line from point a to b, or draw this text at this point. Draw pixels at a certain coordinate, check if a key was pressed. So, the basic answer is that the functions were quite simple to get right. Had the library been more complicated, it would have been a different story.

Yes, you are right about the 5% edits. I should have added a section on Q&A done after the translation was done. It is of course very important to test code carefully after translation.
Gold rush: crate subscriptions. Shovel seller: cratejoy.

Gold rush: phone apps. Shovel sellers: AppAnnie, Braze, etc.

Basically, finding a trend people are chasing in hopes of making money, and selling them tooling to facilitate their business - in such a way that you make money whether they succeed or fail.

If you’re looking for the next digital gold rush to sell shovels for, machine learning and IoT don’t seem to have any clear market leaders for tooling yet.

If you can predict what comes next after that, there may be even better ways to take advantage of that than selling shovels.
This sentence is false.
> make the market unsustainable for anyone who isn't using the real estate productively

That only works if the purchases are actually an investment. When real estate is a form of money laundering, you expect to lose a portion of the value to the process of making dirty money clean. Also, a portion of the purchases are by people, say from China, who just want to park their money some place in a form where it can't be seized by the government, losing some of its value is again okay. A tax high enough to change these behaviors is unsustainable if applied equally to everyone and all properties.

I've always preferred Best Buy to Amazon for electronics (and I definitely do my fair share of Amazon purchasing).

Recently, I bought my MacBook there. I also purchased a gaming headset from there.

I think the main thing is - what if I get my headset out of the box and one ear has no sound - easy fix with Best Buy. Same with the MacBook. In fact - I actually ended up returning my original MacBook to Best Buy within 14 days of purchasing it to get a slightly upgraded model - no questions asked, nothing lost but about an hour of time.

As other posters have mentioned, there's also the 'knock-off' chance on Amazon as well (or at least me, the general, uninformed consumer thinks that there is). I can't be certain that even Apple-branded products from Amazon are actually Apple products. But at Best Buy, my assumption is they are legit Apple products.

I’ve worked in both open plan and private-office coworking spaces. Both sucked in different ways.

The open plan one was great for networking but distracting as all hell.

The private office one had glass walls (so minimal actual privacy), but nobody met anyone so there was no sense of community and the communal spaces (like kitchens) were a shit-show.

I have little difficulty concentrating at home, so I see little advantage in a co-working space. The communal one might be nice to have an occasional membership to for those days when you’re feeling social and home is too lonely.
Why on earth would somebody who's interested in profit leave a property empty, rather than cash in on rent from tenants?
In other words, why would investors choose loosing money over getting income?
It's not like its hard to get tenants. It's not like it's hard to manage tenants, and it's even easy to get rid of them if you need to in the UK (unlike in some other countries). There's a whole support industry for finding and managing tenants. It's almost effortless.

I'm afraid I don't believe stories like that quoted above. As an edge case it may occasionally happen (especially at the high-end, e.g. flats that cost > £2 mil), but the normal case is that buyers cash in on rental income. Moreover, I posit that the number of properties left vacant is so marginal that it doesn't affect London's housing market.

For example there has been lots of building activity in Aldgate, near Old Street, around Stratford (former Olympic area), and in the Docklands. They are mostly studio flats, 1-, or 2-bedrooms, all tiny, and all quickly snapped up. London public transport (e.g. Central Line) is insanely busy now in parts because so many new people have moved to e.g. Stratford.
