User "nobody" is still somebody; it has a UID

@bugaevc I suppose I should keep it in my back pocket though for when I end up writing exec wrappers.
Slightly dumb Rust question
@bugaevc That makes sense also, though I pretty much always see those as -> ! rather than using a Result.

@alexbuzzbee @aphyr When it alternate between IO bound and CPU bound, stick to multiprocessing which handle both well, there's nice interfaces like https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor and https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html?highlight=queue#multiprocessing.Queue to dispatch the work, depending on what's you're doing.
Small brain: There are two genders
Normal brain: There are many genders
Large brain: There are infinitely many genders
Huge brain: There is a continuous spectrum of nondiscrete genders
Galaxy brain: There is a continuous multidimensional space of nondiscrete genders
Universe brain: There are no genders
