Design Patterns

This is a list of DesignPatterns in the computer science sense: generalisations of approaches, ideas, problems, and systems that it's useful to refer to from time to time. These are bits of technical terminology that it's useful to have as shared culture when I talk to others; in lieu of people having a clue what I'm talking about, I can point them to the relevant explanation here.
