Say you make a new invention. Are you going to give it a name, or are you going to use a description each time?

What about if you have kids. Are you going to name your kid a long winded description of their lineage, or something short?

It's descriptive. Do you want to use paragraphs to name a group of similar people, or a word? " The people born between x and y exhibiting these behaviors and traits, or have been imprinted by these traits, though it is not as strict rule," or "generation x."

And yes, we are also allowed to critique people based off of these things. It's how life works. It's how we grow and change.

I'm likely older than you and there's always been generational name calling and judging.

Is pip the real bottle neck in software development? How many dependencies are you managing that require this speed?

If supporting the art, supports the artist, who actively supports a bad cause, I do not. JKR and anything that furthers the anti-trans movement can go screw. If someone co-opts something, then it's trickier, but I expect the original artist to help when they can and support them directly, like Marvel's Punisher.

Jeff bezos owns 9.5%, then to institutions under vanguard each owned 6%. He's probably still influential-based on his prior position as CEO, but he can't force a decision that the rest of the board wants.

He doesn't run Amazon anymore.

I don't know y'all, and when people interact, there's no true community here. I'll probably not remember most of your names, similar to reddit, digg, slashdot, etc etc...

In what way? If you encountered a function that had x and y which just added them together, that's not readable enough?

To each their own. But man imagine if you have a collection of stuff that has a large name, and then having to figure out a short name other than e when iterating. I hope you're not iterating over chemical names 😬
