 Quote of the month:
 
+  Gnu parallel is indeed slick. I always try to align my data to make it possible to loop over it with a nice for loop added in a call to run the jobs in parallel then becomes super easy. I love the {1..99} syntax in bash.

+  The syntax for GNU Parallel is so slick that I often use it just to make my script read nicer, and the parallelism is a cherry on top.
