I live in a German-speaking environment, I take language courses with a teacher, and yet I’m not parting with ANKI because all this information still needs to be remembered. But that’s not relevant to this thread.
I agree with you that I can create many types of cards. But is it advisable to do so? Maybe I have the wrong decks (data ) organization? But since I don’t have the right answer yet, I answered the survey questions based on my user experience. And experience shows that the proposed implementation in my case will not lead to the desired result, because for some cards will be better, and for another part of the cards will be worse. And if this is the case, then why spend time on development and do something at all. (I’m exaggerating) That’s why, based on my case, I showed examples and offered a solution if the task is really to implement load balancing.
If that’s the case, then why bother with the new functionality at all? After all, it works somehow without balancing.
But making something that won’t work is absurd. It’s the same as if the manufacturer of your car asked you which way the power steering should work: when you turn left or right? But as a driver, you need it to work in both directions! What’s the point of it only working one way? Naturally, you will either turn it off completely or adapt to it. But you’re not likely to be happy with it.
For example? Split one record into multiple records? Okay, let’s say I have the records “aufstehen” and “aufgestanden”, and? Even at this stage, don’t you think there’s a risk of memory interference? German already has enough words that differ by one letter or sign, with completely different translations: schon - schön, Liebe - Lebe and so on. And for what? For the sake of load balancing? Are you seriously?
Ok. What’s this balancing thing for then?
Going back to the automobile example, if Henry Ford now saw a starter instead of a crooked handle, power steering, power windows, air conditioning, radio autopilot and everything else that is now in cars… do you think he would have the same concerns?
That’s what progress is for. Because you and I both want to make life better and more convenient.
To conclude my rant, I want to summarize: no matter how you implement load balancing, I will either use it or not. As part of the survey, I simply gave an example from my experience that shows that the proposed implementation is not good enough. Only at the same time, you need to keep in mind that I really may have an incorrect decks organization, and if I change it according to your recommendations, the proposed balancing functionality will work perfectly.
