Hi HN, We are members of the C Standard Committee and associated C experts, who have collaborated on a new book called Effective C, which was discussed recently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22716068. After that thread, dang invited me to do an AMA and I invited my colleagues so we upgraded it to an AUA.
