it was fun! though it would be cool to have maybe half the players goal to get the counter to zero instead, so theres more push and pull

Nothing. the actual reason that he used the authorization so he can limit coming clicks by authorization key

At first I assumed there would be the functionality for "good guys" vs. "bad guys", i.e. the possibility for some users to choose to actively defend the database. If it's just all user actions to speed up destruction, then it's no wonder it was gone in a blink of an eye.

[@vasyaqwe2087]

the most original ad video ever

[@spin4team4096]

What if, instead of simply updating the counter via a broadcast every second, the database sent the average clicks per second to the user, along with the broadcast? Then, while the client (user) is waiting for the value to update, the client can change the number by that average cps and update it later when the broadcast is sent out? Then, the database will have less broadcasts per second, but the client will still feel as if the updates are really frequent. 🤔

One of the best commercials I've ever watched.

[@TheSillysoupman]

I believe the Redis transaction explanation was showing the Isolation part of ACID - not Atomicity. Atomicity would be if 1 SET was saved but a second in the same transaction failed.

[@wi1h]

it's both, having atomicity allows better isolation. if there wasn't an atomic increment, you'd either have low isolation (the race condition), or you'd have to block other transactions (basically creating the atomic increment yourself)

You can make another cool project but going from high number to 0, the idea is to break the egg, like the old iPod app game when you need to break the egg by clicking 1,000,000 times, that’s a single player game, you can create one egg to all players, by clicking 1,000,000,000 times all together and in the end the egg will break, what is inside the egg?
