Push Definition and 204 Threads

Push technology, or server push, is a style of Internet-based communication where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the publisher or central server. It is contrasted with pull/get, where the request for the transmission of information is initiated by the receiver or client.
Push services are often based on information preferences expressed in advance. This is called a publish/subscribe model. A client "subscribes" to various information "channels" provided by a server; whenever new content is available on one of those channels, the server pushes that information out to the client.
Push is sometimes emulated with a polling technique, particularly under circumstances where a real push is not possible, such as sites with security policies that require rejection of incoming HTTP/S requests.

    MATLAB Working with push buttons in Matlab GUIs

    I am trying to create a simple GUI in Matlab with two push buttons and two static text boxes. The basic premise is that a question will pop up and the user can press either the "yes" or "no" push button, resulting in either another question or an answer (in the second text box). My current...

    Why is is easier to push a heavy load on wheels with a short lever

    Why is it easier to push a load on a wooden crate on wheels when you are nearer the load and the lever is shorter and at a sharp angle compared to pushing a load with the lever lengthened and at a more relaxed angle with your body further away?
