Very interesting. Is there two typical usages, or a continuum whose two poles are what you describe? Do you never use again bookmarks as you did?

I thought a little bit about sharing and social but I didn't see exactly yet how it works, but I will work on that of course. Your comments will definitely help me to orient things, thank you so much for them.

Thank you, that's very kind. Also that links rocks, I didn't know it. Good idea for monetization. About that, I was thinking vaguely about customization (wallpaper, color scheme, buttons, icons etc.) - in case this site is worth one cent for at least one user.

Hey ryiytrye, thanks so much for your feedback. I will make my possible to figure out how I can solve that bug. Also, I'm currently implenting the icon move, copy and paste. Stay tuned (it's for tomorrow) ;)

edit: good remark. Memorypools are links too. So if you create two memorypools with the same name, they will "point" on the same "desktop" as expected :)

Sincerely amazing. It's just unbeleivable. For me, Kickstarter is the startup of the year 2012. They did amazingly well as a company and by the way make possible so much good things for people and creators.

Thanks so much Kickstarter.

Investors 14 years ago

"missed the bar by a few centimeters"

May I recall that:

  startup => company
  company !=> startup (a company isn't necessarily a startup)
Startup meant to be very-fast growing companies and then, in this condition, what an investor should ask himself is only: is this company a startup? If yes, the investor must invest at almost any price because the company will be 10x or even 100x bigger tomorrow. At least, buying 2x for the price of a share is ok.

"No. What is truly horrifying about sex.ly is that it so utterly and absolutely cheapens the experience of something very important."

I would say: it "logical-ize" it - in the computing meaning of the "term". And here come the question: is it good? Maybe no because the logic of such an app is a cheap one but maybe yes because it becomes more logical in the sense of rational.

"Together these three phases produce an S-curve. The phase whose growth defines the startup is the second one, the ascent. Its length and slope determine how big the company will be." http://paulgraham.com/growth.html

Startup = Idea 14 years ago

Startups as fast-growing companies take a very particular role in history, in economy and in a nation. This is a deep concept with a lot of ramifications and implications. Of course this is intrinsically linked to the concept of innovation and then new ideas but that sort of ideas and innovations which cause all the implication of fast-growing companies. This kind of companies are noteworthy in many scales since millennia.

For example, startups renew dying jobs, notably, at the nation scale.

Goto's are bad because they allows you to jump to anywhere in the code, regardless of structure, which undermines all assumptions you can make about control flow.

Knowing where you are jumping doesn't help you to make assumptions about the control flow.

Goto's are bad because they allows you to jump. The jump in itself is the problem because it breaks the instruction flow arbitrarily - without explicitly expressing the boolean condition for it. Early exits are of the same kind: they don't express explicitly the boolean condition of the jump. We know where we are jumping. Not why. With time, the boolean equation of the code which determines the instruction flow is unmaintainable. And then you end up not understand where your flow is going through, not because you don't know where a jump is going, but because you have lost why.

Most gotos, early returns, breaks and continues (C speaking) are considered to be bad habits for this reason.

return only goal is to return values to the function caller. Not to jump.

Function calls jump back to whatever call them so it's like there has been no jump at all in terms of instruction flow - you basically can continue to read the code assuming some code has been executed behind the function name.

I've coded that this evening for the fun and also because I'm using a todo list myself in a text file or in trello, but for very short term things (an hour or two, or three). Also, at my job, we recently made a folder to share crap files which is emptied each night. In the end, the post called "todon't" made me think about a todo list which fades and delete your notes for you. I had reserved the domain name 'Notles' a long time ago.

Hope you will like that experiment. Please report bugs and dysfunctions, thx.

Startup = Growth 14 years ago

One of my favorite pg essays of all time.

Same here. I figured out that one can turn into an optimization problem her user satisfaction and that it was key to get a successful product and then key for the company, but it's even funnier: can be turned into an optimization problem the whole process of founding a company.

Definitely awesome.
