and parallel
are my two workhorses.

parallel
is one of those things I never seem to find a use for. I've used it a few times for things like running two functions, but that's about it. What have you used it for that made sense?
Well I'm a researcher, so I'm commonly running experiments on lots of inputs. I make scripts to run the experiments that take command line parameters, and then use parallel
to run all of my experiments on all of my inputs under all configurations. It's very nice when you need to try all combos of a bunch of parameters, since by default it'll run with every combination of parameters you give it.
Screen and tmux work well together too
This is really cool. Nice implementation
