Yes, youtube and github were blocked for some hours, maybe 1 day, because of strange decisions of some strange people. But it was fixed.
Now, I am blocked from another side of the world, and it seems - for a long time.
I don't know what will happen tomorrow - everything is possible, but my message was not about this. It's about tools, that are looks like an open, or free - but at any moment they can become inaccessible.
Thank you, I am not going to leave Udacity. Sad, but Chrome updates and plugins - are blocked for me too.
I will think about vpn. Just hope the Udacity will not block me (=.
Yes, I anderstand that there is not much they can do. From my point of view - apple has always been from the proprietary technology.
I do not know about the development for an iOS, and I am sure that Аpple has blocked developer accounts and the purchase of development tools - but at least I can get access to all documents, videos, and materials about Swift or Objective C and development directly from their website.
Sorry, maybe I am wrong with the terminology.
But, the title on the Golang home page is "Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software."
And on the https://code.google.com/ I see "Project Hosting on Google Code provides a free collaborative development environment for open source projects.".
