Python has become the most popular language for machine learning right now since almost all machine learning tools provide service for this language, and it is really to use since it has many build-in objects like Hashtable. In C, you need to implement everything by yourself.

C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in graphics. It has many fancy libraries like eigen to help us process matrix. I have many previous projects about graphics based on C++ and this time, we also need to deal with graphics since we need to analyze movements of the human body. C++ has much more advantages than Java. C++ uses only compiler, whereas Java uses compiler and interpreter in both. C++ supports both operator overloading and method overloading whereas Java only supports method overloading. C++ supports manual object management with the help of new and delete keywords whereas Java has built-in automatic garbage collection.

We’re a new startup so we need to be able to deliver quick changes as we find our product market fit. We’ve also got to ensure that we’re moving money safely, and keeping perfect records. The technologies we’ve chosen mix mature but well maintained frameworks like Django, with modern web-first and api-first front ends like GraphQL, NextJS, and Chakra. We use a little Golang sparingly in our backend to ensure that when we interact with financial services, we do so with statically compiled, strongly typed, and strictly limited and reviewed code.

Hi! I'm working on some components in PHP for system administration to be released as reusable packages, to build some kind of server control panel with some time and patience.

I'm working on a credentials component to check things like the current user running the PHP process, the ability to change the password (which I would do through a shell command), and a very important feature: the ability to login with OS credentials.

For that purpose I'm already considering LDAP, but I want to support first an easy setup, like I would do for a small VPS. I want to login to my future panel with my Linux root credentials. This is very easy by parsing the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files, but I want to be multiplatform from the beginning.

How could I check a username/password in a similar way to login on Windows without having to configure Active Directory and similar things? I allow myself to use FFI to make external calls to native DLLs, so if the answer is on a Windows internal API it will not be a problem.

So, here is the question: is there any shell/C lang /C++ way to check if a given username and password matches a real Windows credential? Is there any way to check if that account is a root user? Thank you so much!

EDIT: If there's not any API to check a login, could it be done through reading the hashed password of a user, and hashing the provided one to check if they match? If so, how can you get the hashed password of a user, and how can you encode a password to compare both hashes?
