Due in November 2020, .NET 5 will mark the company's transformation from the aging, proprietary, Windows-only .NET Framework to a modern, open-source, cross-platform .NET. "There can be only one"

it's NOT cross-platform until we don't need mono to run a desktop app, and that app can run on Linux with a WinForms *AND* WPF UI. Without changes to the source code.

Maybe not WinForms, but some kind of forms...

It's not a full replacement for the old version until it supports all the major libraries/frameworks, and the upgrade path is just changing the target framework version without having to do substantial refactoring to make an application compile again.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Or at the very least all of Microsoft's major libraries/frameworks.
Still waiting for a .NET Core library to support viewing and exporting SSRS reports. We never got one for MVC, but we can fudge it by using the WebForms version. But that's not an option in Core.
Yes, there are a few third-party attempts. But their either half-finished and abandoned, or cost insane amounts of money.
The .NET Core team passed the buck to the ASP.NET Core team. The ASP.NET Core team passed the buck to the SQL Server "uservoice" site. The uservoice ticket[^] has been "under review" since February 2018, with absolutely no sign of any activity.

I've \been following this story for a while, and it looks like, given the guy's history of shadiness, he really might have pulled a hollywood, and faked his death.
Either way, it's a laugh.

They want to dig him up to make sure he's in the coffin -- there's a good chance that he faked his death, and absconded with the money.

It's all theater.
If he faked his death, he can't actually spend any of the ponzi coins without proving that he's still alive (or that someone else in the company has the keys afterall); so it accomplishes nothing.

But it's Schroedinger's wallet: until they open it, the coins are either inside it or not (unless it contains only one address, which is highly unlikely, given the personality of whom we're talking about).
He could be living it up in the Bahamas right now, spending all the money that people think is still in the wallet.

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.
