Because of this, you can make a pool of numbers in any corner by repeatedly pressing the keys in that direction (e.g. left-down, left-up, etc).
y2bd··on Inkpad: Vector illustration app for the iPad, now open source

I wonder how common this is for mobile applications.

Considering desktop applications, I've heard that many of the media conversion programs you find on sketchy websites are just reskins of Handbrake.

y2bd··on Moot: Full House
There is a list of global rules, as well as some board-specific rules [1]. Generally boards just require you to stay on-topic (unless you're on /b/, where the only off-topic thing is ponies, which is the only on-topic thing on /mlp/), refrain from spam, and not post anything that could get 4chan in legal trouble. Rule offenses result in IP bans, usually for a certain time (from a day to month to forever).

All of the boards have mods of various rankings (people who delete off-topic posts vs people who actually ban/temp-ban users) and various degrees of moderation. According to the post (and agreeing with my personal experience) moderation has generally been on the rise as of late, although apparently this is due to better moderation tools rather than an increase in moderators.

Prior to the new ban-list, most moderation (I've seen anyway) is pretty quiet, save from the infamous USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST that you sometimes see.

y2bd··on How To Take Exceptional Notes and Be Productive with Paper
This sugarcane paper is also excellent at handling fountain pen inks. Very good deal for any fountain pen users!
y2bd··on How To Take Exceptional Notes and Be Productive with Paper
To add to what the others have said, besides writing overhand (so your hand doesn't drag across what you just wrote), look for smaller nibs, drier inks, as well as more absorbent paper. Anything that will make the ink set faster instead of staying on top of the paper.

Isn't that how most score attack games of this style work?
y2bd··on Magic: The Gathering API
Awesome! Are you using Veekun's database, or do you have your own source?

Edit: Wait, you are Veekun! Or at least I think you are, "eevee"'s GitHub profile links to Veekun's website.

y2bd··on Magic: The Gathering API
Honestly I'd love just a Pokedex API. It seems like the best right now is Veekun's work[1]. It just needs to be...API-fied.

Nintendo is very happy to give out C&Ds though, which might explain why such a thing doesn't already exist.

y2bd··on The limits of Google’s openness
Assuming they figured out how to display ads without using the embedded HTML5 player, a guess I can offer (as a WP user) as to why they don't is that if they do, the video would launch in the default webview video player, which is honestly pretty terrible. You can't even scrub through videos. The MS-built YouTube application however had a much-more featured video player[1].

Quite a few WP applications that are video-centric (such as the non-MS YouTube apps, Netflix, etc.) use their own much-improved video player. Even Microsoft provides a better video player for usage in WP/W8 applications[2]. Making an improved video player on a per-app basis probably would require a lot less overhead than changing the system-wide video player.

This is all just a guess of course.

A nitpick, but although Jasmine is a native iOS application, when it comes to actually playing a video, it opens a YouTube video embedded in a web view. That is why you see the YouTube player for a brief moment before the video starts.

I want to hope that we'll reach some point where this won't happen anymore.

y2bd··on Introducing Humble Indie Bundle 7 (with Legends of Grimrock and more)
Pretty sure that you're right, and that the game becomes a lot harder when you install the DLC, so you should play it sans-DLC first if you're new.
