@The_Killah29 @Terry I was under the impression that he had already confessed to being Jewish.
@Ree @graf @toiletpaper blocks everyone who points out that he's a pajeet. He seems very embarrassed about how Indian he is for some reason. Weird.
@Ree @graf I was talking about @toiletpaper, not you.
@WandererUber @professionalbigot69 To be honest, most of the old conventions and contrivances are based around hardware that was slower than most modern calculators that they give to school children.
In the modern era, there's nothing actually stopping anyone from developing a command line program that automatically does manual lookups and suggests common command line strings to the user similar to the auto complete systems available in every modern programming IDE.
It's always strange how people push beginners to use the command line in Linux and then poopoo fixing Terminal or Konsole to make them more useful or user friendly.

@WandererUber @professionalbigot69 The counter problem with GUI systems is that they often lack quick forms of user expression. People have been arguing about the role of visual interfaces and their relation to the Noun->Verb paradigm versus the Verb->Noun paradigm since before Unix was a thing and no one has reached a true 100% consensus yet.
@WandererUber @professionalbigot69 Discoverability has always been a huge problem with command lines. It's a big part of the reason why GUI based systems wound up becoming the default forms of user interaction. Modern programming software somewhat fixes this with command palettes but it's still somewhat vague at times about what a given command does.
