I wonder if they've fixed their crass mistake regarding the built-in ISDATE function...

Earth's magnetic north pole, which has been wandering faster than expected in recent years, has now crossed the prime meridian. Someone should put a magnet over top of it to keep it in place

With any blanket statements like this, there are always exceptions. Though in general, I believe the use of enums is often a better choice compared to boolean, unless you really need to squeeze your data into one single physical bit. True? or False?
His example is less blankety than the title. Fortunately.

Just use this enum[^] instead.

As for the silly demands of the article, decide on whether (or not) to use Booleans based on performance testing... which it sounds like the chappie never does.

How would using enums over booleans negatively affect performance?

You'll only find out if you perform performance tests.
If you assume that there will be no difference without performing performance tests, you're taking one more step toward the bad-developer world.

People that can't (or shouldn't) write code are the ones writing articles about "best practice".
Sometimes, irony shows up and kicks you right in the booleans.

A half-decade after “the dress” divided the nation — was it white and gold or blue with black? — another illusion is capitalizing on optical color trickery. "There...are...four...lights!"

Whether you’ve been running PowerShell Core since our first alpha releases or you’ve been clinging to Windows PowerShell for backwards compatibility, 7.0 delivers a host of improvements to make your life better. Because cmd is so last century

100,000 phishing attempts?
About a hundredth of one e-mail, then.

Beginning January 15, 2020, Microsoft will be delivering its new Chromium-based Edge browser automatically to Windows 10 users via Windows Update, unless its Edge Blocker Toolkit is applied. "Livin' on the edge. You can't help yourself at all"
I wonder if they also have a Windows Blocker Toolkit?

I would not bet on it...
I would even change it to: "as long as they don't break anything...".

I talk to a lot of students and professional developers that often want to start a side project, but aren't sure what to build. What, were you going to spend your upcoming holidays with family and friends?

Personally... I am going to enjoy the Christmas break with my kids.
Hopefully you all can have good quality time with whoever / whatever is important for you.

Static members give us the ability to run code from an interface without an instance of that interface. I'm obviously wrong, but I thought interfaces were so that you weren't bound to an implementation?
Sorry, nothing funny/insightful there. I'm just irked at the design choice...
