Thanks.


nice work. Can you point me to resources on learning about capturing depth from iPhone cameras?


As I had prior experience with RGBD cameras, for iPhones, I've learned how to use their library than the fundamentals. For example, rear depth information comes from ARKit and more specifically from ARFrame and capturedDepthData property: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arframe/2928....


What sort of background is needed to work on the little projects ?. I have very less experience in compilers but I am super interested in learning about compilers and wasm.


If you want to work on, e.g. making a neat web demo with Virgil and Wasm, you don't need to know of the compiler internals, as you won't need to poke around inside the compiler. That one is mostly specifying some external functions to import into your Virgil program, writing the Virgil program, and then writing the JS glue to get the resulting Wasm module to run in a browser.

I'd be happy to give pointers. In fact, I realize now that each of the above projects could probably benefit from a few paragraphs of documentation for any takers.

Failing that, feel free to email me directly with questions or post issues on the repo.


This is a great idea and site looks really nice. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the book data with book images. ?. I too want to build on an idea involving books.


Thanks for the kind words ilolu! We used Google Books API


Is the first part of the course (Concurrency part) available online too ?


readng looks really cool. Where do you get the books data about authors, description, cover images etc ?


If one has to build a Goodreads competition, How can one go about getting books data, book cover images etc ?


The Google Books API might be a good starting place.

https://developers.google.com/books/


I think building project around such obscure Google API is too much of risk. It's can be discontinued literally any moment.


- Launch couple of projects based on ideas that have remained with me for last couple of years.

- Spend 300 hours in Gym

- Apply to YC

- Pay off loan


Do you fund US only startups or startups anywhere in the world ?


Can a college dropout get a visa to go through YC program for 3 months?


As a general rule, a degree isn't required for many visas, including a B-1 business visitor visa.


Thanks
