Hacker's Delight, 2nd Edition
- swordswinger12 14y agoThis book is getting a second edition? Awesome. Save AoCP this is the book I'd most like to see continued/expanded.
- dprice1 14y agoIt has 512 pages. He clearly couldn't resist...
- hga 14y agoAlso he probably had enough influence with the publisher after the success of the first edition to pull it off with this one.
- afhof 14y agoIf you haven't read the first one, it is a book filled with programming gems. I have personally used the magic number division algorithm in my CUDA programming, resulting in a ~50x speedup. Highly recommended.
- nn2 14y agoYou may not realize it, but that's a quite damning statement on the CUDA compiler.
- atopuzov 14y agoGreat book indeed!

- Phr34Ck 14y agoDoes any of you know if this edition adds/removes chapters? Should I buy first and second edition or this one will suffice without losing any information?
- dsolomon 14y agoSaved for later
- MattGrommes 14y agoI hate to be Captain Cheapskate here but is this worth $39 (for the ebook) over web resources? Seems high.
- masterzora 14y agoWhen I was but a poor college student not many years ago I had the first edition constantly checked out from the library. The content is easily worth $39 for interest's sake. If you're looking for usefulness, however, you're not likely to find it unless you're working on some really low level code.

- bascule 14y agoI love this book but I'm not sure "Hacker's Delight" is really a proper name for it. More like "The Bit Twiddler's Guide To Fame And Fortune"
