Even if they could watch out there is very little most merchant ships or cruise liners could do if a whale crossed their path, it takes too much time to alter course or stop.

Don’t you have more than those two options where you live?

Sounds like you answered your own question:

Is it easy to transpose to other types of architectures, or is it leaning heavily against web development? Thank you for sharing, your project sounds really interesting by the way! :)


One of the key points of the book (and DDD in general) is the web stuff is just a detail at the edge of an application. You should be able to replace the web bit (for which they use flask) with any other entry point. In fact, they do this by having an event subscriber entry point and IIRC a CLI entry point. The whole point is it all uses the same core code implementing the domain logic.


I dont get why anyone would want dubbing over subtitles?


Why remove it? It doesn’t change what they say.


It's like saying "it's really hard to build both a nuclear reactor and a quadcopter".

It's technically true but makes the second one sound a lot harder than it really is. A hobbyist can make a cubesat, and if they do something clever they might even find a grant to pay for the launch.


Launch vehicle development program: $1 billion

Cubesat: $100k

You remove it because of the 4 orders of magnitude.


Because it’s not clear which of the two things makes doing both hard.

Developing a basic satellite is very straightforward at this point and there are countless unrecognizable companies that help do this.


Its not clear which is hard, yet there are hundreds in the comments pointing it out.


It's not clear from the original bad phrasing.


>But that's the risk you take when you fail to adequately fund your military and try to get by on the cheap. Most of them had the option of joining at Level 1 at the time, and had they done so they would have much more leverage today.

Weird logic. US is equally unrealiable no matter what level you bought yourself in to.


>> for the leisurely researcher, self-study must include the discipline’s foundational texts

Leisurely and "must include" sounds very contradicting.


Why is it better that 5 private companies make the same product and compete against each other in marketing? Why should the government buy a product from them, and spend lots of money to tailor it to their needs, without even owning the finished product?


Where do governments get their money from? Taxes on economic activity. The more economic activity the government performs itself, the less opportunity there is to raise tax revenue.

Take this through to its logical conclusion and you have the government owning farms, making food, making its own steel, building its own cars, etc. with a corresponding loss of revenue-raising activity in the real economy.


Government can and does tax its workers and suppliers.

In a bubble, there is no revenue raising difference between a government owned economy and a private economy with equal production.

Realistic differences come down to comparative disfunction of management (IMO, best considered in terms of which is worse).


The government isn't in the business of consuming tax revenue. Its mission is to most efficiently serve the needs of its constituents.

Government services help everyone and raise the floor of the standard of living. Someone is now free to go write and do SOMETHING else and sell that.

By your logic, we should get rid of libraries since more economic activity would happen if everyone had to buy their own books.


> Where do governments get their money from? Taxes on economic activity.

That may be true of local/state governments, but it isn't true for currency-issuing governments like the US. I'm not as familiar with the EU monetary system as I haven't read as much into it.


From my understanding, most European governments purchase American or other foreign-owned software, which often does not contribute to tax revenues in the countries where it is used.


Software licenses are certainly a major expense for all levels of the Danish government. (Cloud infrastructure, too, increasingly.)

They've started complaining, especially since prices have been going up, but while there's rumbling underground, we've yet to see any real movement away from Microsoft.


Actually, open-source product and code can totally be deployed or reused by private actors to make money of it


There is this thing called balance. The middle road. Yin Yang. Entities keeping each other in check.


>Though these days I can cash a check via a phone app and so I don’t need to forfeit the check to get the money.

Its incredible that both of these technologies is in active use at the same time.
