Talk from the Roguelike Celebration 2018
Very nice software architecture talk. Patterns discussed: composition over inheritance, type objects, commands/actions.

The Pauli matrices are used to study the angular momentum of spin-1/2 particles. I won’t merely tell you what they are: I’ll work them out from scratch, and in the process we’ll learn a bit about what ‘observables’ are in quantum physics.
The physics and math of spin-1/2 particles: how states of a spin-1/2 correspond to points on a sphere.

In this tutorial, I’ll be explaining the common technique that most people use for dispersion in custom glass shaders, why it’s bad, and how to make it good. We’ll explore stochastic sampling with a white noise texture, how to debug shaders when unexpected issues arise, and some basic concepts that will later be relevant to spectral rendering ;3

In this video, I present the story of phase space and one of the most fundamental theorems of classical physics — Liouville’s theorem. This is a walk through the birth of phase space and how the discovery of Liouville’s theorem involves not only Liouville but also Jacobi and Boltzmann.
