I can't connect to Slack either. It says

Server Error

Sorry! Something went wrong, but we're looking into it.

If the problem continues, please check our Status page for updates.

But the status page says smooth sailing. Can't even contact them via https://my.slack.com/help/requests/new

Seems that they're up now.

Would be great if you give hint about how much info/time is need to complete the signup on the developer onboarding page: https://www.moonlightwork.com/onboarding/developer

That's reasonable - thanks for bringing it up. Our #1 focus right now is improving the client experience to get more jobs on Moonlgiht, but redoing the developer onboarding experience is next up on the list. I've logged your feedback for that project!

I don't get it: do comments get downvoted on HN whenever there's any mention of or opinion on difference between genders? Disagreement shouldn't lead to downvote.

> Disagreement shouldn't lead to downvote

Actually PG said the opposite. I used to have the comment saved, but lost it in a format.

Anyway, people also downvote because they are sick of talking about this.

I'm surprised if PG did say that. If disagreement should lead to downvote, then unpopular opinions would not see the light of day.

Also, if one's sick of discussing a topic, s/he can simply don't read about or discuss it. Why prevent others from discussing it?

Things pg said about downvotes:

It's how HN has always worked, and in my opinion needs to. A site that cares about discussion quality needs those white blood cells.

Thanks for sharing the threads. I always think that downvoting is for discouraging bad arguments from DH0 to DH3 [1] (for discussion quality as you mentioned). Now I realize that even convincing arguments at DH6 can be downvoted as long as one disagrees with it.

iOS has a Guided Access mode that does some/alternatives of what you said like lockout timer: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202612. I always use it when I let my kid use my iPhone/iPad.

This is similar to what I did too but the newsfeed is still polluted with lots of "likes" (e.g. liking a page, liking a post) by my close friends which are irrelevant to me 99% of the time. I wish Facebook let me hide "likes" from my friends.

If it really bothers you, a simple Greasemonkey script can fix that.

Or just don't visit the newsfeed ever.

Problem solved....

Yes to me it is insane that Google doesn't provide native keyboard shortcuts (at least make it an option) for the search results page. It is available on Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, etc. Why not Google search??

Google Search's keyboard shortcuts are so bad. I hope they learn from DuckDuckGo's. At least give users the option to navigate the search results with 'j' & 'k' like Gmail.

j and k are from vi where those were the arrow keys. h(left)j(down)k(up)l(right) are used in a lot of apps for the reason that a lot of programmers use vi keybindings.

Just because it lets me use "j" "k" to navigate the search results and "/" to highlight the search text is enough a temptation for me to contemplate dumping Google. I hate how Google forces me to press "Tab" and the up/down arrow keys to navigate.

The one thing that really annoys me is that they don't have a keyboard shortcut for adding a new row. Now I always have to

1) Shift space to select the current row

2) Press the "right-click" button the keyboard

3) Press the down arrow 4 times to select "Insert 1 above"

4) Press enter

Or else I've to use the mouse, which is equally slow. It's really silly given that how often people insert rows.

This is something Apple Numbers did right. Option-Up or Down makes a new row. Bliss.

Insert row is: 1) Shift + space (highlight current row) 2) alt + I (open insert menu) 3) r (insert row above)

vs Excel which is: 1) Shift + space (highlight current row) 2) ctrl + shift + "+" (insert row above)

Slightly different key pattern, but it does exist. Difference probably exist b/c ctrl + "+" is reserved in the browser for zoom.

Thanks for the tip! That's faster than what I do. I still wish they add a dedicated shortcut for it though so that I can do it with one keystroke (like the Ctrl + Shift + "+" in Excel).
