"Trolling by proxy"

[Luis Dias]

Well it was effective, I'll give him that.

Oh my!!!   10 new pages!

Well guys, Finals ended up getting the best of me.  But now that summer break is here, I do want to do my best to add a new reply here in the morning.

...if only I knew where to begin...

Yes, this thread has grown quite a bit during your absence.  Whether or not it has matured is another matter.

Well, Battuta is the closest thing I've encountered to a living human philosophical wrecking ball of scientific inter-dimensional posting on the Interwebs, so it's been an entertaining read.

I just tend to think he has way too much time on his hands.

I literally (this is not an exaggeration) make hundreds of dollars a day to post on HLP.

I write long beautiful sets of instructions to analyze complex data sets and then watch them execute in one window while I type in the other.

Yeah, of course you do....

You are the problem with society today. 

Well at least you aren't using facebook.

Yeah, my years of painstaking effort and financial investment in my own education, leading to competitive placement at a job which allows me to be both socially productive and able to pursue my own writing (which is what I mostly do during downtime at work) is indeed a crippling problem common to many members of our society. 

[Snail]

The problem, as I see it, is contentment with one's life.

[jr2]

I, for one, don't see the problem of doing whatever you want if you're good enough at your job to get both it and personal interests done at the same time.  You're getting paid to get the job done, no?  Job gets done when it's supposed to or faster, I personally see no problems.  Especially if you're just that darn good that you basically take a very small amount of time to accomplish your tasks... this is good, usually speaks of expertise IMO.

Ah just picking, nothing wrong with making hundreds of dollars doing what you love. I don't think I could sit behind a screen all day, even though I can be good as wasting time this way at home. However, I could take the hundreds of dollars part.

The way you say it makes it seem like the code is not horribly unoptimized.

It's STATA/R so it takes forever no matter how it's done.

He's doing a case study...
