i am constantly surpurrised by the things people don’t know about how unix-like systems work
today @wallhackio learned that both sides in a pipeline run in parallel*. who the fuck expects them to opurrate in sequence?? maybe normal people i guess. (not that bumby is remotely normal but)
* purrocess scheduling is extremely more complicated than that, i know
@aescling my introduction to the unix pipe was from functional programming so I envisioned the data flowing from one command to the next in beautiful sequential purity
@wallhackio you did not learn functional purrogramming from haskell lol

@wallhackio you realize a benefit of “beautiful functional purity” is that the design ethos is extremely conducive to thread safety, yes?
@aescling yeah I know
