Two million checkboxes (written in Elixir)

Fuck everything, we&#x27;re doing 5 million checkboxes<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theonion.com&#x2F;fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-1819584036" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theonion.com&#x2F;fuck-everything-were-doing-five-bla...</a>

Funny how these things are fairly simple on BEAM. Funny how majority of industry won’t ever learn anything about BEAM and will keep hitting walls for the rest of their careers.

I upgraded the server to 2 performance CPUs and 8gb of ram, running on Fly.io Should be fiiiiiiine, right?

It’s actually fascinating to watch this one. You can see scripters fighting for control. I just watched all the checkboxes get unchecked within a couple seconds, followed by an equally swift counterchecking from the opposing side.<p>Love the user count too. That was missing from the first one.<p>It would be nice if it had a fixed zoom level so that messages like &quot;hi&quot; would show up the same for everybody. But given the scripting, I guess it wouldn’t matter anyway.<p>Now you know what you have to do next: add 8-bit color selection support. Then we can prove once and for all what HN’s favorite color is.

Ha, nice. Any interesting notes on scaling and load testing? At what point does it fall over? We all found it out empirically with One Million Checkboxes, so I&#x27;m curious how this compares.

What is wrong with un-checkers.<p>Like do y&#x27;all leave carts out in the parking lots and Starbucks drinks on shelves? What went wrong in your life that you think it is fun to destroy other people&#x27;s work.<p>EDIT: Feature request with that in mind: you should block someone&#x27;s ability for 5 seconds to click if they are clicking subsequent boxes and someone reverses the check&#x2F;uncheck within 2 seconds. Turn it into a real war.<p>eg: you are checking&#x2F;unchecking in a line and someone clicks the box right as you click it, you get stunned.

Awesome! Would it be possible to make checkbox number part of the url? This way, I could send someone a link straight to part of canvas, that I worked on :D

For every checkbox unchecked there should be a pop-up ad.

Is this going to be a thing now where someone releases a doubled version every week?<p>I would like that.

Elixir + Phoenix Liveview is such a mind blowing set of software. It really is something different that works so well for the majority of web applications.<p>I really do recommend everyone to try it out.

I was expecting it to keep 2million checkboxes updated in my browser.<p>But looking at the websocket messages, it seems to only send updates about the slice I am looking at which consists of 1441 checkboxes at a time.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;uKH4wee.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;uKH4wee.png</a>

Which coordinate is the &quot;opt out of targeting cookies&quot; checkbox at?

It has gone wonky. An hour ago even with more users circa 170 I was able to jump to 1900000 and above and get a display.<p>As of now (14:00 BST, circa 70 users)there is no display even for the numbers before that, 95000.

Ok but where is the ceiling? I was told there would be a ceiling!

Excellent! The scrolling could be better though. I love elixir - but the scrolling from the site a couple of days back was much snappier.

Seems like the server disconnects pretty often. I get disconnected twice now which ruined the boxes I had selected. :(

Will one of those checkbox pages finally add support for &quot;indeterminate&quot; state?

<i>Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin&#x27; there, there&#x27;s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?</i>

This has a much higher build quality than the one submitted a few days ago.

Haha, this is so much fun! I love Elixir&#x2F;LiveView!
