polling

There's some utility methods like FluentWait, but ultimately they're just convenience wrappers for polling the DOM and waiting.

We've rolled our own polling fallback, which is also used to cleanly handle missed messages during a websocket reconnect.

We even mocked the like counts et al by polling FB's API from teh server.

One can subscribe to storage events, and that way you can broadcast ordered messages to all your tabs without any polling.

My theory is that there are N bots that rely on monitoring new content, and they're all polling for the same data.

But there's still a significant hole here: is there any way to get notified that this has happened other than polling the DNS?

You're right that it relies on a central service that's polling reddit.

Some of the latest polling data shows Trump at or leading Bush.

It relies on a central service that's polling Reddit, though.

I just finished work on adding much richer snmp polling ability to scollector (the data collection agent that goes along with bosun).

I think Cuban's reason is shared by a lot of Americans, which is why Trump is polling as high as he currently is.

The daemon has its own polling time as well.

I'd probably be happier and less distracted if I was "polling" for messages, but I don't trust myself to do that regularly enough so having low friction notifications suits me better.

Polling data in the July before an election has close to zero predictive power.
