In your numberGenerator example, try unscribe firstFeed before subscribing with secondFeed, you will see two invocation of Shutting down.....

@rakeeb how do you make these graphics [the image with the code fun getTweets() etc]

[russhwolf]

Why not use .share()?

[rakeeb]

@asad.awadia it’s on https://carbon.now.sh/

[rakeeb]

@russhwolf i’ve mentioned it on the thread 🙂

[rakeeb]

@edwardwongtl thanks for pointing that out; i’ll look into it.. but if you do have a idea on why that’s happening, please do let me know 🙂

[edwardwongtl]

Simply because that's how refcount() works

[edwardwongtl]

refcount only cares if there is at least one subscriber or not, so if you unsub before the second one kicks in, the number of subscriber will drop from 1 to 0, leading to the termination of the stream

[edwardwongtl]

And by the time the second one kicks in, refcount notice the number of subscriber jumps from 0 to 1, and it start the stream all over again

[rakeeb]

is it better to use connect then?

[edwardwongtl]

Depends on your use case

[rakeeb]

noted. thank you very much @edwardwongtl 🙂

[edwardwongtl]

But IMO most of the time using publish() with autoConnect(numberOfSubs) is more flexible

[edwardwongtl]

It allows you to specify the number of subscriber required to start the stream

[rakeeb]

i’ll be sure to doodle around with that; what’s your twitter handle? I’ll give you a shoutout 😄

[edwardwongtl]

I don't have a twitter account😂, not popular in my area

[rakeeb]

started this 100DaysOfRx to get me focused into trying out Rx everyday and post whatever I’ve learnt… social accountability to get my lazy ass scared 😂

[rakeeb]

oh! highly recommended to open a twitter account then 😄
