Patient adherence to CPAP therapy elusive despite new methods | Clinical Psychiatry News | Find Articles at BNET SAVE
Crimony. I don't think I've slept a night without CPAP since I first got the machine. I can't imagine just not using it. "Continuous positive airway pressure is widely viewed as the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea. When used correctly, it results in multiple benefits, including salutary changes in cognitive function, quality of life, blood pressure, and daytime sleepiness. There's just one problem. Patient adherence with this nonpharmacologic therapy is, in a word: lousy."TAGS

Do Tags Work? SAVE
PEOPLE
If you can get past the rambling paragraphs of awkward fun-poking at tags interspersed with library science / web 2.0 / cultural references—as well as a discovery of what, you know, Flickr is all about—there's a well-embellished and obsessively-assembled statistical analysis of tags vs title vs notes in finding photos featuring tourist heel-spinning on the testicles of a bull mosaic in Milan.

Rate limiting with memcached SAVE
PEOPLE
"I think I’ve found a solution, thanks to memcached and in particular the incr command. incr lets you atomically increment an already existing counter, simply by specifying its key. add can be used to create that counter—it will fail silently if the provided key already exists. Let’s say we want to limit a user to 10 hits every minute. A naive implementation would be to create a memcached counter for hits from that user’s IP address in a specific minute. The counter key might look like this: ratelimit_72.26.203.98_2009-01-07-21:45 Increment that counter for every hit, and if it exceeds 10 block the request."TAGS

WWdN: In Exile: ficlets is going to the land of wind and ghosts. here's how to save your stories. SAVE
PEOPLE
"AOL is shutting down Ficlets on January 15, and in their infinite corporate wisdom and understanding of how communities on the Internet work, they're not providing any easy way to archive the stories you've written there beyond advising that you try "copying the text and pasting it into a plain text or Word document." Right. That's going to be really fun and easy for people who have written dozens of Ficlets. [::facepalm::]"TAGS
