TDD Anti-Patterns, and decided to first quickly jot down some of the most common ones that others or myself have encountered “in the wild.”

The Scala Programming Language

by jpcaruana & 3 others
Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java and other programmers to be more productive. Code sizes are typically reduced by a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application

Rhizomes

by borsky
"Rhizomes oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree structure from previously accepted ideas. New thinking need not follow established patterns. Rhizomes promotes experimental work located outside current disciplines, work that has no proper location. As our name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required. We are not interested in publishing texts that establish their authority merely by affirming what is already believed. Instead, we encourage migrations into new conceptual territories resulting from unpredictable juxtapositions." Online journal.

La “Pouzin society” : Faut-il revenir au départ pour sauver l’internet ? | InternetActu.net

by delavigne & 1 other
L’informaticien John Day, coconcepteur d’Arpanet, dans son livre Patterns in Network Architecture : A Return to Fundamentals (que l’on pourrait traduire par Modèles d’architecture de reseau : un retour aux fondamentaux) explique que le problème avec Arpanet, l’ancêtre de l’internet, “était que nous avons eu raison sur trop de points dès le départ”. Les idées émises étaient tellement inspirées que cela a permis de réaliser un réseau “suffisamment bon” (c’est-à-dire, finalement suffisamment solide pour résister à sa croissance jusqu’à présent et suffisamment ouvert pour accueillir une grande variété d’innovation). Cependant, ces concepteurs ont oublié de traiter certaines questions fondamentales.

The Prepaid Economy Blog: Some observed behaviour patterns in rural BoP households

by karlcow

people rarely held on to money in the form of cash for any length of time, for the most part due to lack of access to banks and/or the high cost of maintaining an account proportionate to their incomes. Cash was rapidly converted to goods based on priorities and these 'goods' acted as insurance (silver), savings (buying building materials on a piecemeal basis as cashflow allowed until the house could be built), a cushion aka insurance (selling a pig for an emergency or eaten for food) and finally investment (milk bearing cow, young piglets to rear to maturity, etc).

Are you building an everyday app? (the LinkedIn problem) - Bokardo

by greut

In general, most people think they’re building an everyday app, but they’re not. When the actual use patterns are discovered, most apps will be used every few days or less. Designers have to ask themselves a very hard question: “How often are people really going to use our web application?”.

uxtopia » Social Web Systems Common Model

by karlcow & 2 others

As I collected more and more, I grouped them and realized that it seemed to be some higher level information architecture patterns common to every site. Some “big blocks” appeared all the time, way obvious as “Profile”, or rather more unpredictable, as “Statistics”.

UrbanTick: What shape are you?

by karlcow

Wile working with the GPS track data of the UrbanDiary project, in connection with the series of interviews I am conducting, I suddenly recognized the different shapes and patterns that are being produced by the participants. Really funny shapes and forms, but always with a number of strong fix points. The shape is determined by a number of factors such as the spatial relationship of destinations, the distances traveled, the amount of travel and the intensity of repetition. The first point, relationship of destinations makes for the overall shape and the last point, the intensity of repetition makes for the character of the shape.

The images are all generated from participants that have a track record of two month and are the same scale.

Jennifer Tee

Skyline 2006 Raadszaal Stadsdeel–kantoor Zuid Oost, Amsterdam, Pays-Bas Commande publique "Skyline is a permanent artwork in the council chamber of the southeastern part of Amsterdam. Tee and Niessen have created a secret language with which they build a skyline, made out of silkscreen prints in a system using 6 patterns and 6 colors. First, Tee made drawings of motifs that are characteristic of the Bijlmer, such as shopping carts, African symbols and footballs referring to the Ajax-Arena. Richard Niessen then converted these drawings into patterns and signs. With a legend the signs can be decoded into well-known names of streets and buildings in the Bijlmer. The wall, which gives the impression of totems or flags, is beautiful in its details and it has a great impact as a whole."
