try the following

`date 1>&2 | sleep 1 | date 1>&2 | sleep 1 | date 1>&2`

you'll actually see the three date commands output immediately so the three julia processes would actually launch in parallel if they were in a pipe

How is a programmers value add usually measured?

I am a researcher/trader and I spend a large portion of my time programming, but I am ultimately paid off the change in profitability of the strategies I've worked on and not on the code I've written. It's a means to an end.

When someone is working on a purely technical project, how can they successfully argue for the value of their work? How do you measure the value of a purely technical project? Are there other metrics that matter?

You must not be considering the total return of all your wealth just a limited subset. If you started with 10k and earned 300% (138.6% continuously compounded) then after 5 years you will have over $10mm. Wait another 3.3 years and you're a billionaire...

Julia lover here. I love having math at my fingertips and the ease of writing x’x\x’y. I like writing numerical code, knowing I can change types later and it will likely work. Still, I miss tab-tab from ipython for method completion from time to time and I work all day in mostly C++.

It would also be great to see how these scale with terminal size. I personally use iterm2 but after switching to a new Macbook pro this year with two 5k displays it's noticeably slower. I'm assuming some O(n^2) scaling behind the scenes but I haven't measured anything myself. Still, @gnachman I love your term especially with terminalplots.jl and drawing Julia repl images inline.

This is exciting. I'm excited to see keno here too. He has been really helpful in helping get Cxx.jl working. It's awesome. Being able to interactively work on c++ and to load external dynamic libraries is really useful. Thanks for working on this I can't wait to see where this goes.

Is there a good resource for understanding all the different logs available on different systems?
