Friend: My crew of 6 put in 10 hours each today

Me: Thats nothing, I put in 60 hours today just by myself

Friend: How is that even possible!?

Me: Multi-tasking!

@freemo

Not really. Thread support has been in the kernel since post-2.6.

(You do realize that multiprocessing IRL requires that you have multiple personality disorder?)

@Pat yea but in python its the only place where multithreading means you cant utilize multiple cpus... so multiprocess becomes needed

@freemo

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought the mutlicore processors could handle multithreading natively.

@Pat from the OS perspective it can.. the limitation is specific to python and onnly python.
