    The older people get, the more they tend to be conservative in their political views.

    I do not believe that's true.

    But the demonization of unions by big corporate money has been very successful in fucking shit like this up for the US.

    Well, it's a trade-off. In the US it's easier to have more and bigger "stuff", but we work harder and longer for it, not always by choice.

  9. Re:Why you should support these actions on Library Creates Fake Patron Records To Avoid Book-Purging (heraldnet.com) · · Score: 1

    lot of reference books are never checked out - they are looked at

    Seems they need a better tracking system. Whenever a book is put back from browsing, add a mark or tally to a card on the inside cover. Or if they have bar-codes, scan the backs of the entire browse stack before they are put back in order to register browse usage. That would be quicker.

    And, the purge formula perhaps should also factor in cost of replacement. If a book is difficult to (later) purchase, then it should get a lower purge score.

    Thus, add two factors to the purge computations: browse-rate, and cost of replacement. (This is in additional to check-out rate.)

    Of course, better tracking systems are not free; but would be better than relying on human memory, which seems to be what's being described.

    MVC overly complicates software in many cases. The "reuse" or "separation" angle doesn't pay off often enough in practice for most project. It's an extra layer that doesn't buy you enough to justify its complexity rent.

    Ideally yes, but in practice which theory is considered the "top theory" and what research gets funded is pretty much a political process.

    There is no standard formula or algorithm for determining "best theory"; collective human judgement does that, which is more or less a political process. We hope these deciders are objective, fair, and open-minded; but those are traits hard to come by in humans.

    Actually, not all eggs are wider on one end. Some are nearly elliptical. I'm actually fine with the egg comparison as an approximate description meant for a colloquial audience.
