However, I am completely stumped on why my entire message body is centered, instead of aligning more to the left. I tried doing p align left in some areas, as well as text-align left. I remo...

Q: Basic graphical R code draws an ellipse instead of a circle

dataqeuerentI wrote some very basic R code. This has at least two problems. 1 - It uses a very basic imperative-programming style instead of good R style. 2 - It draws the result as an ellipse, not a circle. This effect is barely visible on RGui on Windows, but extremely visible in RStudio on Linux. The...

@retailcoder: you beat me to 1K!!! Congratulations!!!!

@Malachi: Yes I do.
@retailcoder: Congrats! I've looked at your first review (rejection), and I agree it was a good one. Good start.
 
7:30 PM
@Malachi thanks! You're not far behind I see :)
 
@Malachi: Oh! You were linking a specific question for rolling-back! Okay, I'll take a look at it. Thanks!
 
@Jamal I've got quite a few suggested edit reviews under my belt on SO, 167 approved and 131 rejected if I'm looking at my history correctly. So far on CR I have 0 approved and 2 rejected (and 1 skipped - I didn't want to reject @Malachi's retagging for being "too minor" and I never quite know what to do with these edits that merely just add or remove a tag)... It takes a good edit for me to approve :)

Q: Using std::future to manipulate objects in C++11

pt3dNycI'm experimenting with std::future, but haven't found any materials that deal with the usecase I have in mind and was hoping someone could either confirm or deny the validity of the approach excerpted below: class Thing { private: std::string mValue; public: Thing() : mValue( "" ) {} ...

 
@retailcoder: Same here. I mostly skip minor edits, unless they are too minor. However, with editing privileges, you're free to make any kind of edit you want (not bad ones, of course).
 
For minor edits, I tend to reject them as too minor when I see something in the post that could be improved (I don't know, "i" => "I" for example). Maybe I should "Edit" the post instead, checking that "suggested edit was useful" box.
 
7:44 PM
sometimes all it takes is another tag on an old question and someone sees it that has a review for that question.
@retailcoder I have had it happen a couple of times, and it attracts the right votes for the question and the answer as well.
@Jamal: I had flagged it for moderator as well I think
 
@Malachi true, but on SO you have a high chance of having it declined for being too minor - or approved out of luck by some robo-reviewer (there's quite a few of those on SO). On SO at least, there's a gap between good edits to suggest and good edits to make (when you have enough rep to just make 'em), hence I was reluctant to suggest these kinds of edits under 1K, and now >1K I'm reluctant to approve them. Maybe that would be a good meta-discussion?
