Title: Hi HN,<p>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: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22716068" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22716068</a>.
