If 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.

You may not realize it, but that's a quite damning statement on the CUDA compiler.

Does 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?

It has 512 pages. He clearly couldn't resist...

Also he probably had enough influence with the publisher after the success of the first edition to pull it off with this one.

This book is getting a second edition? Awesome. Save AoCP this is the book I'd most like to see continued/expanded.

I hate to be Captain Cheapskate here but is this worth $39 (for the ebook) over web resources? Seems high.

When 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.

I 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"
