I guess we need to look for the buzzword "push" rather than "realtime" now-a-days. At least, that's closer to how I use "realtime", rather than 5 minutes mechanical polling.
"Sure, realtime-nazi, but what would you suggest?"
Personally I feel up to 30 seconds is acceptable, but I rely more on the underlying method of delivery (push/long poll for change vs. polling and comparing for change). In close comparison to the definition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web
> receive information as soon as it is published by its authors, rather than requiring that they or their software check a source periodically
For a consensus, see http://stackoverflow.com/tags/real-time/info http://stackoverflow.com/tags/real-time/info and/or http://stackoverflow.com/a/5286985 http://stackoverflow.com/a/5286985
Or am I wrong? What is a better label for what wikipedia defines as realtime-web?
- konklone 13y agoThis is why I put the crucial space between "real" and "time". I cannot hold up to intensive buzzword scrutiny. :) It's every 5 minutes because I don't want them to ban me. And in practice, this is an acceptable delay.
- klapinat0r 13y agoTo clearify, I wasn't critiquing your approach, just the phrasing. What you're doing is how it should be done for sources you don't have direct access to. I'd use 10 minutes though, as http://www.uscourts.gov/robots.txt http://www.uscourts.gov/robots.txt points to a crawl delay of 10. Whether it's checked is the risk you take.
- konklone 13y agoI never thought to check that! Thanks, I may adjust my rate.
- konklone 13y agoRight, now I remember - just double-checked, and Crawl-delay refers to seconds, not minutes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Crawl-delay_directive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard#Crawl...
- klapinat0r 13y agoOh, my bad. Sorry. Thanks for correcting me.
