On: GitHub starts banning Russian accounts [Russian]

Indeed I may confirm the listed companies are sanctioned. Though I don't think there's been a major impact on the companies anyway, git repos are distributed so they still have copies.

Personally I'm concerned that the repos are just deleted instead of just suspending accounts and archiving repositories. Meaning it may impact other users. Moreover at least one personal [1] account has been suspended.

On: Drinking coffee or tea from paper cups may be bad for your health

> Unused disposable paper cups sold by 5 different manufacturers were collected from the IIT Kharagpur campus

While it still a valuable discover, I think it's too early to make any conclusions yet due to fairly limited source.

This is just an analysis of some cups on a campus in India so I agree that it's interesting and worth looking at but possibly not directly comparable with products which meet EU / UK / USA food contact regulations.

Sample B seems to have vastly mode copper and manganese leaching out than the other samples.

On: EasyMake – one python file instead tons of Makefile locs

Yep, sure. I _personally_ don't like makefiles because it's another language that's need huge amount of code (relatively to the rest of the code). That's pretty annoying And about scons: probably heard someday, i don't sure. Anyway it's look quite big

> it's another language that's need huge amount of code (relatively to the rest of the code)

It's the first time I see this argument. Does it mean you only produce scripts of 20-40 lines overall length? Why makefile for those?
