Survivor bias. > Christian Applying "statistical arguments" at the level of the whole cosmos as arguments for or against anything is IMO currently exercise in futility. Look there's a lot of more basic shit we ain't even know before we can start debating why the fundamental constants are precisely what they are. We don't know if the particular Universe we find ourselves in is even topologically finite or infinite or not, if conservation of energy holds on the scale of the whole Universe (related question), or if the fundamental constants are indeed even constant over large distances or timescales. "survivor bias" or what's called the anthropic principle is a fine argument for "why things are" as far as it goes but it feels a bit disappointing and unsatisfactory and like it's not really science, it's a "theory" that doesn't really have any predictive power, it can only predict the past. |

| "Alf P. Steinbach" <alf.p.steinbach+usenet@gmail.com>: Jun 24 07:39AM +0200 I can't recall having seen this approach, so posting it here: void cppmain() { using namespace std; class With_faux_text { istringstream faux_input{ some_text() }; const ptr_<streambuf> original_buffer = cin.rdbuf(); public: const char _{ '-' }; ~With_faux_text() { cin.rdbuf( original_buffer ); } With_faux_text() { cin.rdbuf( faux_input.rdbuf() ); } }; class With_stream_detection { public: const char _{ '-' }; With_stream_detection() { using namespace sys::io; if( not is_connected( Stream_id::in ) ) { cin.setstate( ios::failbit ); } } }; stdlib::ext::process::Command_line_args args; (args[1] == "--faux-text"? With_faux_text{}._ : With_stream_detection{}._), app::run(); } Cheers!, - Alf |
