Reasons are: The program is large. Even with fast computers, editing and compiling a single file with a million lines leads to unnecessary delays. The program is developed by several people. Different programmers cannot easily edit the same file at the same time. (There is software for collaborative work that permits that, but it is still a research topic.) A large program is easier to understand if it is divided into natural units. E.g. each module defines one data type with its operations.

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Abstract In this article, the authors hope to shift the debate in the practice disciplines concerning quality in qualitative research from a preoccupation with epistemic criteria toward consideration of aesthetic and rhetorical concerns. They see epistemic criteria as inevitably including aesthetic and rhetorical concerns. The authors argue here for a reconceptualization of the research report as a literary technology that mediates between researcher/writer and reviewer/reader. The evaluation of these reports should thus be treated as occasions in which readers seek to make texts meaningful, rather than for the rigid application of standards and criteria. The authors draw from reader-response theories, literature on rhetoric and representation in science, and findings from an on-going methodological research project involving the appraisal of a set of qualitative studies.

Carpenter Library works with a model of Reference service that is fairly traditional in most senses. The Reference Desk is staffed with a combination of professional librarians and para-professionals a set number of hours per week. When the current library facility was planned, the emphasis was on making more and more computers available to library patrons and to place staff near the computers in order to facilitate service provision. That resulted in a large lab of 129 workstations with a student assistant desk nearby and a smaller lab of 40 workstations with the reference/documents service desk nearby. Subsequent shifts in OPS funding necessitated closing the student desk which in turn resulted in increased traffic at the reference/documents desk.

  • Dynamic Libraries
    Dynamic Libraries G. Lettieri 14 July 2020 1 Introduction Static libraries are just a collection of object files. In Linux, an .a is only an archive of .o files created using the ar(1) command, an ancient archive- management tool that only survives today because of its use in static libraries1 During linking, the link editor extracts the object files from the archive as needed and adds them to the list of files that must be linked together. The resulting executable keeps no record of the fact that some objects originally came from a library (except maybe in debugging info, if present). Dynamic libraries try to address some (perceived) shortcomings of static libraries: Objects used in several executables (e.g., those extracted from the C li- brary) are copied several times and waste space on disk and in central memory; when a library must be updated to fix a bug, all executables that were built using the old library must be identified and re-built using the new one. Dynamic libraries solve these problems by having \incomplete" executables that are linked to the libraries at load time. The libraries can now be updated with- out updating the executables. Moreover, the libraries are built and linked in a way that allows multiple processes to share almost all of their contents. 2 The price to pay is slower executable start up times (because of the dynamic linking), slightly slower libraries (because of the way they are compiled) and, above all, great management complexity because of possible incompatibilities between library versions. Some people (like the go developers) think that the price to pay is too high while the advantages are either marginal or non exis- tent (space is not a problem today, and library-version incompatibilities often 1Because of this specialized use, modern GNU ar can also add a symbol index to the archive all by itself.
