On: An Opinionated Guide to Xargs

parallel doesn't either, it just nags. I agree about how silly and annoying it is. Imagine if every time the parallel author opened Firefox he got a message reminding him to personally thank me if he uses his web browser for research, or if every time his research program calls malloc he has to acknowledge and cite Ulrich Drepper. Very very silly.

Parallel is the better tool but the nagware impairs its reputation.

or every time a process called fork() you had to read some stupid message
