    That’s it’s relationship to voltage and current, but does not define what resistance is. It’s incorrect to say this is what resistance is because fundamentally resistance isn’t actually a function of voltage and current, its a property of the object itself irrespective of current and voltage; an object has resistance even at zero current and voltage.

    There’s a genre of game where you are a rider on 2d bike and gravity pulls you to the bottom of the screen; you can rotate (or shift weight) and accelerate/brake, and you need to navigate the level of polygon colliders without letting anything but the wheels touch one. FOSS games in the 2D genre include X-Moto (source), a mature Elasto Mania-style game with precise physics and a large library of community levels; OpenElma, an incomplete open-source reimplementation of the Elasto Mania engine; ElmaJS, a JavaScript-based engine for viewing and simulating Elasto Mania levels and replays; FMX, a GPL-licensed revival of a classic freestyle motocross physics game; box2d-motorbike, a simple Box2D demo with basic motorbike physics; motorbike-game, a Python/Pygame physics bike prototype; and godot-trials, a Godot-based early-stage experiment in trials-style controls.


  • Visualization and symbolics are not the only way we comprehend numbers. My mind has the ability to recognize astonishingly broad temporal intervals with remarkable accuracy. I can express the interval using numbers. Does that mean I am able to fully comprehend a number like in “90 minutes?”

    I am able to remember sets of things, and distinguish all of the members of that set, up to very large numbers. It would not be unusual for a teacher to be able to call to mind every one of a couple hundred students currently attending their school. If I can manage a set of a particular size in my mind (whether or not I can visualize all the members of that set simultaneously) do I not have some comprehension of that number? What if every student is assigned an integer from a contiguous series, and I can remember each student’s id number?

    Some people cannot visualize at all. Do they fail to comprehend every number?

    The effect that would be “canonized” or fixed would be the relaxation of the pouch. If dropping kids had a negative reproductive effect, the pouch would stop going slack eventually. If it had a positive effect, the pouch would relax more readily, so it wasn’t an occasional accident but a common strategy.

    My point is that something that has such a direct effect on reproduction is never going to get “ignored” by selection.
