That's great news. Hopefully it will set an example. Everything that is state founded should be available to everybody (sans few exceptions like defense systems etc.). Hopefully more countries will follow and policy will be adopted in

This actually the worst piece of public opinion I have ever read from Tim Cook. It hurts their brand, it exemplifies American ego when it comes to dealing with other countries (please, don't tell me that you not paying taxes is some ki

I'm not ready for transition (using atom at the moment and considering spacemacs due to elixir), but VS Code is really impressive in terms of speed. Atom is cool, but it's really slow. I thought it was because Electron, MS proved
