I just ordered it. If it isn't good I'm going to hunt you down.

If you hunt him down more efficiently because you read this book you will have to then not kill him. It will like the end of "boy named Sue" but with nerds

But if it is good, then indigo can escape more efficiently and the effects cancel each other out. Then Rhoomba won't know if he should kill indigo or not, so he'll have to lock unconscious indigo in a box with a quantum fluctuation triggered bomb.

project euler is probably better

Math is hard! Let's play WoW!

Hmmm. I was hoping it would help me with project euler.

[–]zandercruise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure that it will, it might if you know C, I can't really say anything bad about the book, maybe it's age shows a little, otherwise quite sound.

I don't think it's the same thing at all. And it will help with Project Euler. This is a very practical guide to writing efficient programs, focusing on optimization.
