Pipes are wonderful. They are doing wonderful things.

In Erlang, F(G(X)) is used for small steps. Pipes are used for big steps. The big steps semantics is processes. It's messages between processes. Processes are used for big computation. When you got F(G(X)) is a small step, and we map small steps on the same core. We map big steps on processes. Processes map on multi-core. The system just does it for you.

Perl is designed to give you several ways to do anything, so consider picking the most readable one.

Il est facile de voir que...

Let me just say something about pipes. The great UNIX philosophy was: the output of my program should be the input to your program, to compile things together.

As pointed out in a followup, Real Perl Programmers prefer things to be visually distinct.

One nice thing about working with a piece of machinery: you don’t waste time trying to justify your actions.

These [pipes] are killed by GUIs. So you don't have a text flow into a GUI. So, that are GUIs, you can't pipe it together in sequences. That's killed the notion of a pipe and the notion of reusing things.

I’m looking down the barrel of a very big pipeline, which is a $7 billion boondoggle of stranded assets. We’ll talk about that later. But I’m looking down the pipeline, you know, at the barrel of this pipeline, and I’m looking: What could $7 billion do in Minnesota? What could it do to make a New Green Deal?

It is easier for me to see everything as one thing than to see one thing as one thing.

The great thing about partisanship is you don't have to spend time understanding the issues to know what side you're on.

First, many thanks for your interest in what the pipeline story was all about: a very dangerous Presidential decision. You are careful readers.

'Parallelism' can be pointed out in the different parts of a single object, looked at alone; it is even more obvious when one puts several objects of the same kind next to each other. Now if we compare our own lives and customs with these appearances in nature, we shall be astonished to find the same principle repeated.. .When an important event is being celebrated, the people face and move in the same direction. These are parallels following each other..

when you add the enabling infrastructure, the work being done on ease of doing business with the natural talent and entrepreneurism of our people, it is easy to become very optimistic about our long term future.
