For instance, if it detects, within a single commit, both a file deletion and the spawning of a new file having the exact same content, then git will assume it's a file renaming, even if the user actually has really deleted then recreated the file. ![]() If this filename changes, this breaks the lineage of its own history.įortunately, git is aware of this and is provided with many heuristics that let it fall back on its feets. The drawback of this is that the correlation between two versions of a single given file is based on its filename. The branches are materialized by the fact that each commit references its own parent(s), just like a linked list. In fact, git just don't have to remember the event's history. This enables Git to be very efficient at comparing things, making the differentiation of two random commits really easy, even if they're totally unrelated. It does by storing the complete file list into a tree object, which in turn points at objects containing file contents (these objects happening to be the same on every commit if they don't change, so no duplicated data is stored implying no waste of space). Git works with "snapshots", which means that each time you commit, git actually stores the complete state of your working directory, independently of every other commit, even the parent one. So most likely, if you're positively sure that the commit is on the branch you were browsing and that it wasn't downstream, that is located AFTER the point you started to browse the branch (which can happen if you're in detached mode, checking out a particular commit at a given time), you file were once renamed, or deleted/recreated later.

With this patch, you can just do: git rebase than typing out the full name.Ĭommit 29bc885 adds: for-each-ref: accept " %(push)" format You may push to your fork from multiple machines, requiring you to integrate the changes from the push destination, rather than upstream. Pushed yet: git log as a more complicated example, imagine that you normally pull changes from origin/master (which you set as your and push changes to your fork (e.g., as myfork/topic). There isn't a shorthand for the latter, but it's useful to have.įor instance, you may want to know which commits you haven't In a triangular workflow, each branch may have two distinct points of interest: the that you normally pull from, and the destination that you normally push to. (Merged by Junio C Hamano - gitster - in commit c4a8354, )Ĭommit adfe5d0 explains: sha1_name: implement shorthand Git 2.5+ (Q2 2015) introduces a new shortcut for that: commit 29bc885, commit 3dbe9db, commit adfe5d0, commit 48c5847, commit a1ad0eb, commit e291c75, commit 979cb24, commit 1ca41a1, commit 3a429d0, commit a9f9f8c, commit 8770e6f, commit da66b27, commit f052154, commit 9e3751d, commit ee2499f, and commit e41bf35 by Jeff King ( peff).

Second, during the grow stage at each node of the tree, a randomly selected subset of variables is chosen as candidates for splitting (this is called random feature selection). First, a randomly drawn bootstrap sample of the data is used to grow a tree (actually there is nothing special about the bootstrap, and other types of sampling are used). Specifically, randomization is introduced in two forms. RF uses trees for the base-learner and builds on the ensemble concept by injecting randomization into the learning process - this is where the random in random forests comes from. The resulting averaged learner is called the ensemble. But then what exactly is a forest - and what exactly is a random forest?īasically, a forest is an example of an ensemble, which is a special type of machine learning method that averages simple functions called base learners. RandomForestSRC has evolved over time so that it can now construct many interesting forests for different applications. ![]() Random survival forests ( RSF) was invented to extend RF to the setting of right-censored survival data. Originally, Breiman’s random forest (RF) was only available for regression and classification. The package was developed by Hemant Ishwaran and Udaya Kogalur and is the descendent of their original (and now retired) parent package randomSurvivalForest for fitting survival data. The package is constantly being worked on and many new kinds of applications, forests and tree constructions will be added to it in the near future. The package uses fast OpenMP parallel processing to construct forests for regression, classification, survival analysis, competing risks, multivariate, unsupervised, quantile regression and class imbalanced \(q\)-classification. RandomForestSRC is a CRAN compliant R-package implementing Breiman random forests in a variety of problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Event planning checklist infographic template.Social media report infographic template.Marketing campaign tracker infographic template.Startup pitch deck infographic template.Value proposition design infographic template.Customer journey map infographic template.Competitive analysis infographic template.Business model canvas infographic template.Project management timeline infographic template.Any of these can of course be edited and adapted to the use you require!

![]() ![]() Who wins the major prizes? Who gets coverage in major magazines? So shows that “91 percent of novelists who win major awards, such as the Pulitzer,” and “90 percent of the most reviewed novelists” are white. Instead, he constructs his map of cultural redlining through a robust, multifaceted consideration of the publishing industry. So does not rely solely on data about which authors are published through mainstream publishing houses. So notes that many might expect Random House to “present the least amount of racial inequality between white and black authors” because it is the publishing house that hired Morrison (“the industry’s most prominent black editor”), “published Ellison, Stokely Carmichael, and Toni Cade Bambara,” and “brought out The Black Book.” However, So challenges this perception by surveying publishing data from 1950 to 2000 he finds that 97 percent of authors published by Random House during that period were white. Throughout Redlining Culture, So draws this map, providing facts and figures that bear out the truths Morrison knew firsthand. But what does all of that look like as a type of empirical structure or map? If we could draw the American literary field like a midcentury map, what red lines could we see? What patterns of enclosure, domination, and isolation would we find? We know all that as a kind of talk, as a series of historical anecdotes or stories. We are aware that “ook prizes might recognize a breakout star like Toni Morrison but almost no one else.” However, we don’t actually know what shape these exclusions take in terms of data points. We know about much of the racism inherent in the publishing industry, such as the ways that “book reviewers at elite magazines like the New Yorker prefer to talk about white male authors and rarely review” authors from underrepresented groups. It was a pattern, a thick line that walled off nonwhite writers from the coveted resources of not only lucrative book contracts but also book reviews, literary awards, and bestsellerdom. But it was hard to see: it was no single publisher, editor, marketer, reviewer, prize committee, or reader. That structure was the real problem, and she felt it all around her. So tells us that he believes Morrison felt she was not successful as an editor becauseĪll of individual achievements were still not enough to offset a larger structural problem. So coins the term “cultural redlining” and links it to the literary publishing market and to Toni Morrison’s experience as an editor at Random House. The concept of redlining, the discriminatory practice through which people in certain communities - typically those with high numbers of low-income Black and Brown residents - are denied access to financial services such as bank loans, is often discussed as one of the most devastatingly effective forms of racial discrimination in the United States. Given the resilience of “acial inequality, as a main feature of postwar literary production and reception,” he argues that we can, and must, do better. In this gift of a book, So challenges racial hegemony and discrimination in the publishing industry - and, by extension, in the country at large. ![]() “hrough every phase of the literary field,” he explains, “from production (publishing) to reception (book reviews) to distinction (book sales and prizes), white authors exercise a distinct racial command” over authors from underrepresented groups. ![]() Deploying tools from economics, cultural analytics, data analysis, and more conventional close-reading, he shows us just how racially stagnant the mainstream publishing industry has been, and continues to be, despite its proclamations of improvement. In his new book, Redlining Culture: A Data History of Racial Inequality and Postwar Fiction (2021), Richard Jean So interrogates and dismantles that claim. ![]() THE NOTION THAT the publishing industry historically favored white authors but became increasingly inclusive following World War II has been circulated for decades. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let's take a look at some advances we'll see in coming years that will help improve efficiency. ![]() It turns out that this type of power-steering system is pretty inefficient. But if the spool valve is turned one way or the other, ports open up to provide high-pressure fluid to the appropriate line. When the steering wheel is not being turned, both hydraulic lines provide the same amount of pressure to the steering gear. Since the inner part of the spool valve is also connected to the steering shaft (and therefore to the steering wheel), the amount of rotation between the inner and outer parts of the spool valve depends on how much torque the driver applies to the steering wheel. The torsion bar also turns the output of the steering gear, connecting to either the pinion gear or the worm gear depending on which type of steering the car has.Īnimation showing what happens inside the rotary valve when you first start to turn the steering wheelĪs the bar twists, it rotates the inside of the spool valve relative to the outside. The bottom of the torsion bar connects to the outer part of the spool valve. It also connects to the top end of the torsion bar. The input from the steering shaft forms the inner part of a spool-valve assembly. The more torque the driver uses to turn the wheels, the more the bar twists. The top of the bar is connected to the steering wheel, and the bottom of the bar is connected to the pinion or worm gear (which turns the wheels), so the amount of torque in the torsion bar is equal to the amount of torque the driver is using to turn the wheels. The torsion bar is a thin rod of metal that twists when torque is applied to it. The key to the rotary valve is a torsion bar. The device that senses the force on the steering wheel is called the rotary valve. When the driver is not exerting force (such as when driving in a straight line), the system shouldn't provide any assist. The pump contains a pressure-relief valve to make sure that the pressure does not get too high, especially at high engine speeds when so much fluid is being pumped.Ī power-steering system should assist the driver only when he is exerting force on the steering wheel (such as when starting a turn). ![]() As a result, the pump moves much more fluid than necessary when the engine is running at faster speeds.
