That’s an incorrect notion of “definition”. The concept of a snapshot is that you make a copy of something at a moment in time. That’s one concept, one definition, one meaning. You may fight over the details of the definition or the implications, but at most it means that you need to revise the definition a little bit, not that you need to add a new sense to the word.
- crazygringo 6y ago> That’s an incorrect notion of “definition”. Nope, pretty sure different concepts means different definitions. Well -- or different "senses" if you want to be technical, but of course nearly everyone outside of dictionary editors uses "definition" to mean "sense". > The concept of a snapshot is that you make a copy of something at a moment in time. That’s one concept, one definition, one meaning. Except one of the two definitions isn't making a copy of anything. It's creating a new pointer to something that already exists, that's all. Zero copying. That's the entire point here. Which is why it's two concepts, two definitions, two meanings.
