I just found out that my progress in the game Filament is lost. I thought Epic Games has cloud save for it, but after some digging, I found out the source of all the tragedy. The synced dir is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Filament\Saved\SavedGames while the actual place for save files is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Filament\Saved\SaveGames. No kidding. Just like that. Lost.

    Hyperellipsoids in barycentric coordinates

    In this article, I introduce the barycentric coordinates: it is an elegant way to represent geometric shapes related to a simplex. By using it, given a simplex, we can construct a hyperellipsoid with the properties: its surface passes every vertex of the simplex, and its tangent hyperplane at each vertex is parallel to the hyperplane containing all other vertices.

    Use complex numbers as canonical variables

    In this article, I try exploring an idea: using complex numbers to combine pairs of canonical variables into complex variables: c≔αq+iβp\mathbf c\coloneqq\alpha\mathbf q+\mathrm i\beta\mathbf p. It turns out that we can write canonical equations dcdt=−2iαβ∂H∂c∗\frac{\mathrm d\mathbf c}{\mathrm dt}=-2\mathrm i\alpha\beta\frac{\partial\mathcal H}{\partial\mathbf c^*}, Poisson brackets {f,g}=−2iαβ(∂f∂c⋅∂g∂c∗−∂f∂c∗⋅∂g∂c)\left\{f,g\right\}=-2\mathrm i\alpha\beta \left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf c}\cdot \frac{\partial g}{\partial\mathbf c^*}- \frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf c^*}\cdot \frac{\partial g}{\partial\mathbf c}\right), and canonical transformations ∂c∗∂c′∗=∂c′∂c,∂c∂c′∗=−∂c′∂c∗\frac{\partial\mathbf c^*}{\partial\mathbf c'^*}= \frac{\partial\mathbf c'}{\partial\mathbf c}, \frac{\partial\mathbf c}{\partial\mathbf c'^*}= -\frac{\partial\mathbf c'}{\partial\mathbf c^*} in these complex numbers. Finally, I show two examples of using them in real problems: a free particle, and a harmonic oscillator.
