But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

There was an artificial lake just out of sight in the first stand of trees, fed by a half dozen springs that popped out of the ground above the hillside orchard.

The first part of the road was steep, but it leveled off after the second bend and curled gradually into the valley.

No one was behind it, but in the rear wall of the office I noticed, for the first time, a door which had been left partially open.

The herd was watered and then thrown onto a broad grass flat which was to be the first night's bedground.

Once again, Tom Horn was the first and most likely suspect, and he was brought in for questioning immediately.

For Matilda, it was the first she had known in many a night.

Even the knowledge that she was losing another boy, as a mother always does when a marriage is made, did not prevent her from having the first carefree, dreamless sleep that she had known since they dropped down the canyon and into Bear Valley, way, way back there when they were crossing those other mountains.

Stevens was grunting over the last empty pocket when Russ abruptly rose and lunged toward Carmer's hat, which had tumbled half-a-dozen feet away when he first fell.

The Indian's arm whipped sidewise -- there was a flash of amber and froth, the crash of the bottle shattering against the side of the first car.

It was her first smile.

At first, I thought he was out of his head, talking wildly like this.

Hell, I gave him the first decent job he ever had, six, seven -- how many years ago was it, Rob ''??

Miss Langford ( her first name was Evelyn ) was an attractive girl.

School began in August, the hottest part of the year, and for the first few days Miss Langford was very lenient with the children, letting them play a lot and the new ones sort of get acquainted with one another.

It was just as well that the ignorant Dandy enjoyed himself to the hilt that first evening, for the room was to become his prison cell.

`` Bastards '', he would say, `` all I did was put a beat to that Vivaldi stuff, and the first chair clobbered me ''!!

In 1961 the first important legislative victory of the Kennedy Administration came when the principle of national responsibility for local economic distress won out over a `` state's-responsibility '' proposal -- provision was made for payment for unemployment relief by nation-wide taxation rather than by a levy only on those states afflicted with manpower surplus.

The first systematic thinking about this Pandora's box within Pandora's boxes was done four years ago by Fred Ikle, a frail, meek-mannered Swiss-born sociologist.

The smell at first was more surprising than unpleasant.

His collaboration with Washington, begun when he was the general's aide during the Revolution, was resumed when he entered the first Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury.

It had an optimizing compiler that was quite good for minicomputers of its time.

This meant that optimizing for the 68060 was easier, no rules prevented FP instructions from being issued whenever was convenient for the programmer other than well understood instruction latencies.

The fetch / execute mechanism was completely redesigned, optimizing the timing and allowing partial fetches when the P or Q fields were not needed.

He was given the task of optimizing production in a plywood industry.

Computer Sciences Corporation was contracted to provide a powerful optimizing Fortran IV compiler, an assembler named SLEUTH with sophisticated macro capabilities, and a very flexible linking loader.

John Cocke ( May 30, 1925 – July 16, 2002 ) was an American computer scientist recognized for his large contribution to computer architecture and optimizing compiler design.

Rational provided code generators and the cross-debuggers for then-popular instruction set architectures such as the VAX, Motorola 68000, and x86 ; much of this was accomplished through a partnership with Tartan Labs, founded by Bill Wulf to commercialize his work on optimizing code generators semi-automatically produced from architecture descriptions ( PQCC ).

The practice of optimizing program code was known as “ bumming .” Another belief was that computers can enhance your life, even if you are not a hacker.

And when the source code was recompiled directly to the register machine via optimizing compilers, the efficiency doubled.

Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiyo Sangsad complex, which includes lawns, lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament ( MPs ). The architect ’ s key design philosophy was to represent Bangladeshi culture and heritage, while at the same time optimizing the use of space.

Also, in the spring of 1988, a new project was begun to develop an optimizing FORTRAN 77 compiler.

The FORTRAN 77 optimizing compiler was first shipped in mid 1990.

The initial portion of work included nearly a full week setting up the seismometers and optimizing their operation and, with that complete, two full weeks of continuous operation was then completed with twenty six seismometers covering an area over 1500 square kilometers.

During this time, extensive work was conducted optimizing open source audio decoders for each of the ARM series processors.

The semi-final case was with Ericsson Mobile and about optimizing investment for mobile masts.

Despite shock from his own wound, Vance was able to assist the copilot in " feathering " the propellers, shutting down the over-strained fourth engine, and optimizing the glide of the crippled aircraft.

Analog processors were considerably faster in certain applications such as optimizing differential equations and modeling nonlinearities, but the reason why analog computing lost favor was the lack of precision and the difficulty to configure an analog computer to solve a complex equation.

When AA was ported to the English Electric KDF9 computer, the character set was changed to ISO and that compiler has been recovered from an old paper tape by the Edinburgh Computer History Project and is available online, as is a high-quality scan of the original Edinburgh version of the Atlas Autocode manual.

Later, an AMOS compiler was developed that further increased speed.

Bootstrapping in program development began during the 1950s when each program was constructed on paper in decimal code or in binary code, bit by bit ( 1s and 0s ), because there was no high-level computer language, no compiler, no assembler, and no linker.

The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language.

It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.

The next step was to attempt to bootstrap the compiler on a Windows system, requiring sufficient emulation of Unix to let the GNU configure shell script run.

Another issue is that the score reported does not include information which is critical when comparing systems such as which compiler was used, and what optimizations.

Dijkstra was known to be a fan of ALGOL 60, and worked on the team that implemented the first compiler for that language.

Dijkstra and Jaap Zonneveld, who collaborated on the compiler, agreed not to shave until the project was completed.

Univac also offered a compiler for the 1100 series known as Fortran V. A spinoff of Univac Fortran V was Athena Fortran.

A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.

With the release of MS-DOS 5. 0, GW-BASIC's place was eventually taken by QBasic, the interpreter part of the separately available QuickBASIC compiler.

Oribasius was the greatest Byzantine compiler of medical knowledge.

The compiler was designed to support parallel POSIX programming in C / C ++, Fortran 77 / 90, and Ada.

According to principal architect Stephen P. Morse, this was a result of a more software centric approach than in the design of earlier Intel processors ( the designers had experience working with compiler implementations ).

Although this feature existed in the original INTERCAL compiler, it was undocumented.

By 1997, it was apparent that the IA-64 architecture and the compiler were much more difficult to implement than originally thought, and the delivery of Merced began slipping.

In addition, the EPIC concept depends on compiler capabilities that had never been implemented before, so more research was needed.
