    Sure, we can just assume it’s ASCII, but it seems a bit disingenuous to not tell us what encoding to use and to just let those who don’t know better continue to think that binary is sone kind of language.

    Gui’s? What letter does the apostrophe replace? Did you mean to say “gui is”?

    So “gui is are for idiots”?

    Maybe the idiot is the one who doesn’t know how apostrophes work?

      the apostrophe may make it a bit clearer… even if technically incorrect usage

      How would you make GUI plural then? Apostrophe is an attempt to do just that, I believe.

        Easy, add a lowercase s after the acronym: GUIs.

        Apostrophes are only used if the acronym ends with s: SAS’s or alternatively SAS’, both are possible.

    What does “cli” have to do with anything? Also, this is terrible for many other reasons.

    I remember my first CS lecture was being taught to read binary off old Egyptian tablets.

          GUI and CLI are tools, both with separate advantages and disadvantages.

          CLI let’s you chain different commands easily to create functionality that originally wasn’t there. It’s really flexible, but it’s also very non-obvious. Even after more than a decade of Linux usage, I still find new commands I have never heard of that do exactly what I wanted to do for a while.

          GUI is great for visual stuff (nobody in their right mind would do video/audio/image editing on CLI). It’s also very obvious/explorable, so you tend to find functionality much quicker. That makes it great for any tools that you don’t use on a daily basis. And GUIs can utilise the bandwidth of human visual input much better, which makes them better whenever large amounts of data are presented.

          Neither CLI nor GUI are better, they just have different use cases where they are better.

          And it annoys me a lot that people don’t get that.

          When you say “X is better than Y”, you always need to state for what it is better.
