This gives an (artificial) example of the power of GNU Parallel over xargs: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/405552/using-xargs-...

> This would break a cron-job as well. How so? GNU Parallel only outputs the notice if stderr is a terminal. I think you did not try this. Am I right about that? It is litteraly th…

If it is as easy to silence as GNU Parallel and tells you how to do it (like GNU Parallel also does), I do not see a problem.

Some of the alternatives to GNU Parallel are written in Go: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_alternatives.... Speed wise they are comparable to GNU Parallel. So the a…

I think your example is wrong: $ seq 0 5 100000 | parallel touch {}.txt Or you you really want the infinite loop: $ yes | parallel touch '{= $_=seq()*5 =}'.txt '$' must be quoted $…

Why not save some quoting: parallel --slf input_file_here -j16 --nonall echo 'Matrix has you'

Why not simply do as GNU Parallel suggests in the message: Run 'parallel --citation' ONCE and have the notice silenced. I never understood the complaint: Is it because people do no…

Does that also apply to platforms where you as a consultant for hire does not have access to a C compiler for that given platform? It used to be an issue that non-free UNIXes did n…

Yeah, quoting redirection is a bitch, but as long as you know GNU Parallel is just a program and not part of the shell, you can usually deduct which parts will be interpreted by th…

Comparison to GNU Parallel's syntax: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_alternatives....

It would require your input not to have any special shell chars - e.g. no space. It is definitely not something I would dare to run in production.

Maybe the cheat sheet is made for you: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_cheat.pdf

But looking at the comparison, do you really find GNU Parallel that much harder to understand? parallel sh -c "echo hi; sleep 2; echo bye" -- 1 2 3 parallel echo hi";" sleep 2";" e…

I think the cheat sheet is made for you: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_cheat.pdf If you have a hard time getting it to work and remember how, then it is likely tha…

I like the definition that Big Data starts at the capacity of the biggest single hardddrive you can buy. So this year it is 14 TB.

If you are just looking for an alternative, GNU Parallel publishes a list of alternatives: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_alternatives....

We probably have to agree to disagree on that one: I see loads of commercials for buying iPhones. I do not see a lot of commercials for citing GNU Parallel. If I have to make a cit…

I am trying to understand your take. Do you also call Firefox nagware, when it pops up with a dialog box where you can click "Don't show this again"? To me the dialog box is actual…

Isn't that explained in the link in the very first question? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2013-11/msg00006...

I enjoy following your thought process. I cannot make that fit with the content of the FAQ: "In other words: It is preferable having fewer users, who all know they should cite, ove…

Do you feel this is covered in the FAQ? http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/plain/doc/cita...

Not LaTeX, but LibreOffice: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/src/paral...

What problems arose? I usually just run --citation once on a new system, and never see the notice again, and I have never had the notice cause any problems as it only shows if the …
