> Should I tell my boss and/or team? Should I tell them right away, or wait until I know what other steps I want to take? What should I expect their reactions to be?

No there're not your family. You need to talk with a professional and take decision together.

> Should I take time off? How much? Or should I try to work reduced hours?

It's impossible to say. Everyone is different. Some need to work part time, others a month off and others 2y. When I did my burn out at first it's 4 months, after 6 and at the end it's a year. Again decision with a professional. Evaluation every month at first.

Depend also your country/insurance. For me it's easy because I live in EU, so my salary was paid at 80% while i was taking care of myself for a 1y.

> If I continue working, is there something in my working environment I should try to change? Think of senior engineer in a typical DevOps-y SaaS startup.

Again need a professional and long conversations. May be it's the environement or the job itself.

> Is there anything specific to working in tech and burning out that I should know about? I feel like this isn't exactly rare.

Because it's always the same. Managers think when we add or remove features, it's just lego. You re-assign 1 ticket 3 others come.


Did I just read that you got 80% of your salary while doing absolutely nothing for a year? Congrats, but we aren't all so incredibly lucky.


He wasn’t doing nothing, he was taking care of his health. Would you react the same if he was treating cancer?

Burnout is real and really, really bad. It is a lot of suffering. Don’t be snarky to people about worst experiences of their lives.


Not OP, but some insurance polices for long term disability could cover major depression or other mental illness. Will depend on the policy, company, etc. and would probably not be a bad idea to consult a lawyer/doctor.


Yes (Belgium ♥)

"Nothing" is not a vacation. Mental health problem is a bitch. In this whole 1y, for 4 months I was in a bad place.



The best antivirus is you. I don't use antivirus since 2008. Never had a problem. BUT I don't DL pirated games, I don't open files on my inbox I didn't ask and when chrome say a web site is dangerous I listen.

And there's always https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload if I suspect something fishy.


Well, it's not always pirated games you know. Viruses come along with any software or even other small files.


You should add an order by: Rating, Year, etc.


It's already supported! Different plans have different order by fields supported but if you have Ultra or Mega plan you can order by the following fields:

original_title, year, imdb_vote_count, imdb_rating


I wanted this meme : https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/for-five-minutes

"Shrek 5 minutes"

None of the results is Shrek.

Ok... may be something simpler: "Shrek"

Same...


I tried finding this - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/who-killed-hannibal

"Eric andre shoot" | "Eric andre kill"...I'm getting the drake meme.

But searching for "Who killed" works.

Also this might just be me but it would be nice if the search bar also worked by pressing "Enter" after a query.


That's a restriction in the front-end framework unfortunately :(

Really hoping Streamlit supports that in future.


Hey, Streamlit co-founder here.

This should just work out of the box in Streamlit:

caption = st.text_input("Meme subject or caption")

if caption: # do search here

If that doesn't work for you, do you mind posting in our forums? I'd love to get to the bottom of this!

(Cool app, btw!)


You can see this link. It explains why the meme search still needs a bit of work: http://examples.jina.ai:8501/?tab=Dude,%20this%20meme%20sear...


Likely because: a) Only so many meme types in the full dataset b) We only indexed 1000 memes to build a toy example

Had I known it would blow up I would've indexed more!


> One of the reasons for mobile apps is that adblocking is disabled.

That and revenue is much higher on apps than on the web. I made an android apps for a website. And just alone the android apps made more money than the web version. With less ads.


Maybe it having less ads made it a better experience, thus bringing in more ad revenue?


I used both, Cordova isn't a choice for 2021. It's slow and feel like you've 10fps on your phone. CapacitorJS is better, it's not React Native ofc, but the feeling is far better than Cordova.


From the easiest to the most "difficult":

- https://capacitorjs.com

- https://reactnative.dev

- https://flutter.dev

Build a todo list with the 3 tech and make your choice.


Currently moving an old Angular+Cordova project into Capacitor...

Capacitor is very poorly documented in my opinion. The official documentation seems sufficient but it has been, at least in my experience, pretty easy to run into edge cases that don't have straightforward documented solutions available, and it's obviously a bit too young to have a ton of StackOverflow answers available, for example.

My understanding is that the Cordova team and community has mostly moved on to Capacitor, and while there is some backward compatibility, it is often not evident to what extent you need to tinker with both to get them to work.



> Anyone know if/when this is coming?

No date atm. There's a lot of rumors and the prefered one it's Apple make too much money of apps and if they gave the PWAs the possibility to receive notifications this will hurt them. But I don't rly believe that. Pwa are great but not rly ready to replace native apps. We always have clients that want native apps even if a basic web site (not a pwa) do the trick.

> Are there workarounds?

None.

> If this doesn't exist, should it? And would people pay for it?

I've already ear that solution (here I think?). But yeah if this doesn't exist it should be invented. And if ppl don't want to pay for it, you can have a free version with sponsored notifications.
