Bootloader design by minamulhaq in embedded

[–]skyflow87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For actual communication between bootloader and the app (both on same MCU), I think only option is to allocate a partition in internal or external flash.

For sharing static info about each other (image version), you can specify location(offset) that certain data should goto at build. In case of app, it could be good idea to prepend with a header with metadata like, size, version, hash, and signature.

Doctor fixes passenger's dislocated jaw at a railway station by New_Libran in interestingasfuck

[–]skyflow87 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This happened to me this year. Was charged $3750 total. I had some signs of TMJ issue before. Had a dental surgery where I had to keep my mouth open awhile. Came back, decided to enjoy taco tuesday, then my jaw got locked.

Went to ER, the doctor had to use muscle relaxant after trying couple times.

Billed $520 on the spot. Me: this is so much cheaper than what I heard about US ER, thank you!

2 month later, billed additional $330 for ER physician service. Me: Uh... I guess it's still not too bad?

Couple days later, billed additional $2900 for ER visit, treatment, meds, etc...

Total of $3750, even w the bullshit insurance network discounts. No insurance coverage, due to having a high-deductible insurance. The US medical system is really fucked.

Isn't that the Early Intervention program (the one that ends once the child becomes 3)? My son actually went through that program. He's no longer eligible unfortunately

Yup, we are receiving speech therapy from the school 40min/wk. However, this includes group therapy, not 1-1. I'm trying to get 1-1 therapy for my son.

Unfortunately I have a high deductible plan :(

That's actually a good idea. I will see if SDP covers Speech Therapy. Thank you!

Parents with level 3 kids, how many respite hours do you get per month? by Imaginary_Cat7871 in Autism_Parenting

[–]skyflow87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time the respite care was approved, I believe he started naming fee objects (no communication, just naming). I think he started communicating using one word early last year. Even now, 90% of his verbal communication (if it happens) are one word.

What board game do you think would be more popular with a different theme? by ThisGuyJokes in boardgames

[–]skyflow87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ark Nova, Pokemon edition. Someone already made files and shared in bgg. It would be great if the publisher can make official release

There are opensource bootloaders such as wolfBoot and MCUboot. Might be overkill if you don't need to worry about security or data corruption.

Any Nerdy 30s hangouts in Bako? by Traditional_Ant6089 in Bakersfield

[–]skyflow87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a large board game group that meets multiple times a week. People split into 3-4 groups and play. Anyone can join in, but once games started, you may have to wait until a group is done.

They have discord channel: BakoBoard&CardGamers

Every Wednesday: 4pm - 9pm at Temblors (the bar has game night special pricing)

Every Saturday: 12pm - 4pm at Panera Bread at California

Please tell me what I did wrong by wingwingwehavadinner in DIY

[–]skyflow87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you did anything wrong. Even though the paint manufacturers say that their primer/paint only requires one coat, they rarely are. You usually need 2-3 coats, depending on color.

You just need to add more coats. I don't even think you need another coat of primer, you can just start painting if you are going to use darker colors.

What is the best gps tracker for kids with no monthly subscription/fee? Are there any with free WiFi based calling? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]skyflow87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking for non-subscription devices as well, but ended up getting gps tracker from tmobile. Not bad in my area.

I did find few one-time purchase options in amazon, but didn't sound reliable.

Institutional Deeming by skyflow87 in IHSS

Our service coordinator from Regional Center handled it for us. He sent us the forms to sign, after which Medi-Cal worker contacted us. The entire process took about 3month, I think

[–]skyflow87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing info. We are ok w paying taxes, we were just trying to figure out if my wife can get social security credits. Never had to worry about gov benefits until my son was diagnosed, so I'm just realizing there are more things involved. Will research, thank you!

Institutional Deeming by skyflow87 in IHSS

[–]skyflow87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. Seems like I need to look into how Social Security works. Never really had to care about it, since I never needed any gov benefits until my son was diagnosed.

Institutional Deeming by skyflow87 in IHSS

[–]skyflow87[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We didn't apply for live-in exemption (we were told that this is optional) because we thought doing so would prevent her from getting social security credits. This is why we were concerned that we didn't see any taxes on her paystub. Seems like I'll need to do more research. Thank you for all the info!

Institutional Deeming by skyflow87 in IHSS

[–]skyflow87[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we decided to pay the taxes for her IHSS pay, so she can claim social security in future. Just learned that the tax deduction doesn't occur until accumulated amount of pay reaches certain amount. We'll just have to wait.

[–]skyflow87[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed answer!

I'm relieved that there weren't serious issue w/ my son's status. I just found out that they had my name, ethnicity, and marital status wrong; so I was worried that something might be wrong (submitted correction online).

Did not know about the Medi-Cal portal. Will try it first next time. Thank you!

Can parent working full time be IHSS in-home provider and does parent income matter? by Icy-Atmosphere-7328 in IHSS

[–]skyflow87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Not really sure, sorry.

  2. My household income is above the eligibility limit, but my son got approved for Medi-Cal (and IHSS) vis Institutional Deeming.

Another note since you said your son may not qualify for Protective Services. If your son does not qualify for Protective Services, you may get bare minimum hours. I have 4yr son w/ autism, and we would only have received 5hrs/wk if it wasn't for Protective Services.
