When I first learned about adders (digital circuits) I initially assumed they were named after snakes (I think I thought the schematic representation of an adder circuit looked a little like a snake) and I pronounced them accordingly. In fact I still naturally pronounce the circuit &#34;adder&#34; like the snake. 2025-08-26T20:25:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2v7kyld6atsfft89972v5pzxwvfrttgme5w679nulveu3pd0c97czyz58rzws425dv3k2dtxszy32ykgvr2ydct8s9aqpj4hmcvs5gmqkgds6pd6 How do you pronounce &#34;cosplay&#34;? 2025-04-29T03:18:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv0n9lv4dn8ru5xpr0x265a20fns56p9ugqkz6ca4ug3s868k673czyz58rzws425dv3k2dtxszy32ykgvr2ydct8s9aqpj4hmcvs5gmqkgvwnky2 Also, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1l3hwnwhdj2cyjx93a9n68muzywvkqfk67ahl5cc5u9qapdcn6guqpy5455" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>sjvn</span> (<span class="italic">npub1l3h…5455</span>)</a></span> I think your article missed the most important occurrence here which is that the OSI conducted a vote but is refusing to publish the full results. 2025-03-27T14:51:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyp63gtvv8meq9lv53u5e0my8hhj38fy7clpy7vxx2jyhgespgrxczyz58rzws425dv3k2dtxszy32ykgvr2ydct8s9aqpj4hmcvs5gmqkgkf3s27 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs25yvylvu4f3jans477qyf8v7rwg5cgt8y7n4s7kpk809cqutd87czd263g'>nevent1q…263g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Also Thierry Carrez is quoted as saying &#34;It&#39;s the first time that we had candidates running that would not sign the board agreement&#34;.
