If you feel I am "moving the goalposts" why not just prove your original case? If you are spending 5 minutes on reading the source code, why not instead spend them on proving your …

Honestly, I fail to see the problem, if I had to run `ls --no-awesome-ls-pro-upgrade-msg` once when I installed it the first time. And if I did not like it, I could use one of the …

Would it not be more fruitful addressing the hard issue: Funding. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/cita... I think many free software developers would rejoic…

I think that is the right thing to do: Don't like it? Don't use it. Also: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/cita...

I was curious how much breakage GNU Parallel has suffered. So I fetched all versions (in parallel) and ran: parallel -k --tag --argsep -- {} echo ::: 1 -- parallel-* Every version …

Also try: parallel --tmux ...

cat hosts.txt | parallel --quote --timeout=10 ssh {} 'echo {} $(md5sum ~/.config/file)' Also try: parallel --slf hosts.txt --timeout=10 --nonall --tag md5sum .config/file

I still remember when those were not of the "OK, don't show this again" type, so you could not simply stop them first after the first run.

git-bisect is nice if you are looking for a git commit. If you are looking for a limit or the failing part of a file have a look at: https://gitlab.com/ole.tange/tangetools/-/tree/…

In your examples you fail to put 'xargs -P' in the middle of a pipeline: You only put it at the end. In other words: some command | xargs -P other command | third command This is u…

Have you read the FAQ? https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/cita...

Your `do_one`: * does not buffer stderr * does not check if the disk is full for a period of time during a task (thus risking incomplete output) * does not clean up, if killed * do…
