Anyone care to elaborate on: "Poll - Polling 30 Million Clients All Over the World Doesn't Scale"

Rather interested on defining an HTTP notification structure.


although in an ideal world this is excellent advice; however many students aren't fortunate enough to have their school bankrolled for them and need to work throughout the summer to pay for their education.

Big companies offer pretty outstanding pay when you're interning, helping you pay for college.

I do agree that building is something which is invaluable; however while in college before you've really been proven and shown off development skills to work at a startup or have funds to work on a new idea you're really forced into a corner for working on side things in your spare time.


I did smile here especially when I saw an explicit example directly above it that too.

Should have required JSON posting data then just given the example of curl --data "postInfo" url

regardless awesome idea!


Thank you Robert!! We are anxiously awaiting licences! What a wonderful discount, so excited to have picked up my copies!!


um no; we all just want to get in on this before the end of days. Who doesn't want to go out with their favorite JetBrains product?!


Will do thank you!


Your welcome.


Same Issue; purchased about 3 hours ago


Look at all the pro gamers; they aren't bringing their mouse every where they go, they just save their settings rock in another mouse and are ready for gaming.


Are you sure? That seems counter-intuitive. If I were a pro gamer (and were allowed), I'd sure bring the mouse I was most comfortable with.


You would bring your own mouse, however when you sit down at a tournament machine you will need to install specific mouse drivers and get it configured. Being able to sit down at any machine and just plugin your mouse/kb and have a familiar setup seems like a great idea to me.


You would still need custom drivers to use the cloud mouse.


Why not just give each mouse a unique ID then, sync the settings anonymously against that ID. Don't even have to log in anymore


Correct, pro-gamers (and amateur competitors too) will take their mouse to any tournament, and if they forget it they will try to find the same model to use.


Pro-am gamers bring the rest of their PC hardware to the tournament.


Pro gamers are the only people that would do this. No one else, using gaming mice like these, move around enough to locations guaranteed to have their mouse on the premise to justify this sort of behaviour.


Huh. This is an interesting point. It may be a good feature for internet cafes.

Maybe that's the market they're trying to target.


> It may be a good feature for internet cafes.

Do those still exist? I remember playing StarCraft a lot with friends in such a place, but this was like... 8 years ago?


It depends where you are in the world. I believe they're exceptionally popular in some parts of Asia like China and Korea. In places where everyone has a personal computer powerful enough for everything they do with it, and with a tablet/laptop just about every cafe is an internet cafe.

Even still, there are niches to fill in such places. Relatively recently (last year I think) a place here opened with exceptionally high performance PCs/net connection, comfortable chairs, etc, which focuses on gaming. Every time I walk past it's packed, so they're doing something right.


Internet cafes don't let you install your own software and drivers, so no. This is not being marketed to that demographic.


Great.. another low budget tablet that I'm going to need to support when developing android applications.

why didn't I just stick to iOS?


Maybe you wanted access to a faster expanding market?


Outstanding article. Well overdue for the Mongo community. There are always the haters whom find themselves ignoring documents then complaining about how things are setup.

Thank you for going back through mongo articles to iterate the key failures to understanding points.
