Graphical User Interface is a type of user interface that allows people to interact with a computer system using visual elements like windows, icons, buttons, and menus instead of only typing text commands. It makes computers easier to use because users can click, drag, or tap to perform actions rather than remembering complex commands. Common examples include the interfaces of Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops, where tasks such as opening files, running programs, or adjusting settings can be done with simple mouse clicks or touch gestures. In short, a GUI provides a more user-friendly and intuitive way to work with computers.

It also acknowledges the heuristics of visual manipulation, which “hard-core” command-line enthusiasts sometimes dismiss or forget. Visual manipulation can be powerful in ways that CLIs just can’t allow. And vice-versa: the versatility, fine-grain control of lower-level / text-based interfaces make them easier to manipulate programmatically, or just literally (tweaking a numerical value directly or adding a custom attribute which would require more fastidious work in the GUI).

My context switching friction decrease is related with the way I connect the contexts (for example TW + Glamorous Toolkit vía custom packages like TiddlyWikiPharo instead of being inside a unique context, particularly a text oriented one, with a pretty limited definition of text as it limits what our visual cortex is able to convey with richer text/visuals.

I share the advantages of having more the one visible tiddler. In my case, I have been using a multicolumn layout like the one in our TRPG wiki particularly in my tablet. I don't get the fluent edition experience I will like, and the panoramic+detailed view I can get with (meta) editors like Leo Editor or Doom Emacs. But TW has several important advantages over them: it is pretty multi-device, self-contained and over all easier to introduce to non-programmers, as extensive teaching/facilitating experience (700+ hours) in workshops, since 2015 has shown trying to introduce meta tools/systems to non programmers, which is a main concern of my practices and research.

Đọc sách nghe tưởng chừng là việc quen thuộc và phức tạp vô cùng đối với nhiều người mà lại trở nên đơn giản đến không tưởng với cách diễn tả sâu sắc qua từng câu chuyện của tác giả Phan Thanh Dũng.

As an experienced user, this claim strikes me as false.

I often start in a graphical file manager (nothing special, Nautilus on my system, or any conventional file explorer elsewhere), then use "Open in Terminal" from the context menu, precisely because of how much more efficient desktop file browsers are for navigating directory hierarchies in comparison.

NB: use of a graphical file browser doesn't automatically preclude keyboard-based navigation.

The GUI was first developed at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Silicon Valley being a small place at the time, Steve Jobs had people around him prod him to take a tour, which he took them up on. When he first saw the GUI they were working on, he knew it would be the future.

I don't get this halo directly, by presing Ctrl + Shift, which can be a little confusing. What I get is a contextual menu that let's me to select the halo after that. See:

After that I need to go to the add halo menu. It's kind of indirect, compared with the previous behavior.

Am I doing something wrong?

this

this is whoever is drawing the object, in this case it is this, which is the panel itself

the panel itself is the object we are inside of, (the one who called paint)

• fill
• setStroke
• setPaint

so whenever paint is called, it is passed an argument g which we then modify.

so it paints based on what we have modified on the next run

Graphics2D.draw = with a stroke Graphics2D.fill = fills shape

Could this be used as a front end to adding content to wikidata ?
