45. Collective Motion of Moshers at Heavy Metal Concerts 2015-03-23

    "Human collective behavior can vary from calm to panicked depending on social context. Using videos publicly available online, we study the highly energized collective motion of attendees at heavy metal concerts. We find these extreme social gatherings generate similarly extreme behaviors: a disordered gas-like state called a mosh pit and an ordered vortex-like state called a circle pit. Both phenomena are reproduced in flocking simulations demonstrating that human collective behavior is consistent with the predictions of simplified models."

    A friend of mine was once interviewing an engineer for a programming job and asked him a typical interview question:

    • How do you know when a function or method is too big?
    • Well, said the candidate, I don't like any method to be bigger than my head.
    • You mean you can't keep all the details in your head?
    • No, I mean I put my head up against my monitor, and the code shouldn't be bigger than my head.

    A doodle-like event scheduler.

    Though it seemed a bit crippled when I attempted to fork it early '14, it looks like it has gained in maturity, thanks to Framasoft's efforts ;-)
