Is this code also used for the Xbox? It would be really cool if we could run linux/bsd easily on one of those.

Then we can possibly block them by matching structural elements?

More like 20% if you don't include labour. Then take out another 40-50% for insurance on the property. Then put the rest into paying the mortgage. Which you admittedly get back, but remember you're doing all the work on the house

>fat profit Probably not. You'll barely break even. It's not as lucrative as you think it is.

Yes, if you're homeless because you want to be that's your choice, I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. What I'm saying is that it's dumb to assume most people are homeless because they made bad decisions

That pretty well agrees with what I'm saying...

>even if you only just break even as a rent-seeker, you're still creating wealth for yourself That sounds utterly contradictory. Landlords provide a service by maintaining and managing properties. They assume most of the risks inclu

That does sound pretty miserable. I'd be upset too.

And where's that going to come from? The money has to come from somewhere. Somebody will be paying that extra cost and they won't like it.

Good. Do it, but raising the cost of building low income housing is going to lower the rate that it's build at.

>Of course there is, it starts with not pretending that just because they're homeless they must have no commitments, no attachments, no fear of new and unknown scenarios etc. Everyone has commitments and attachments, but looking aft

Nope, rent management companies generally take a cut for doing the _Management_ portion. That means drawing up forms, selecting renters, doing background checks etc. The landlord still has to pay for or do repairs. I wouldn't be surpri

If you do that then they'll just build less low income housing...

If they'd rather stay homeless when other options are available there's not much you can do for them is there...

The rich aren't just sitting on a giant pile of liquid assets. Basically all of their money is invested. It's circulating right now. It's the infrastructure and businesses the poor are buying from. You can't redistribute

Wait, so what happens if I take what NPR is telling me is going to happen and act on the opposite? NPRbitrage?

I think I'd actually prefer that...

The website of the company that became amazon was written in lisp.

I considered that. I may do it yet.

Are you the author? I tried to find a way to get in contact with him, but github doesn't have a messaging feature and I couldn't find an email.

Hmm, I think it's a dangerous thing to be skipping portions of code in analysis just because they're impure. I think you'd be better off just taking the code produced after processing and running that through your static anal

It was verbose. I actually left a comment in the example about how it could have been written better. Someone else further down in the comments suggested a nicer way of writing it. I think most people got the idea though! Thanks for the fee

I was also completely unaware that Java had a macro system. I'll have to check that out.

I probably should have presented more than one example in my post. A lot of people are focusing on the example I presented and not the general utility. Live and learn I guess. :/

That does sound better. Build up the structure you want then convert to a string.
