I first became aware of llvm during a compiler course at university. I wanted to write a toy scheme frontend to a real compiler. To my shame I missed that llvm had a mem2reg pass and selected gcc to avoid having to compute ssa form myself. After contributing a few patches to gcc it was clear that the frontend interface needed some cleanup. At the time llvm was being considered as a potential new gcc architecture and the idea of a well defined IR with a textual representation was a revolution. On my first job (indt) we were using arm cpus and I was able to sell the idea of starting an llvm backend for arm. My first commit was on May 14, 2006. I am incredibly grateful to both indt and the llvm developers for trusting and helping such an inexperienced and unknown developer with such a large task. It is only in May 2007 in the dev meeting that I got to meet the other developers in person. It was an incredibly fun event and people were as friendly in person as on the list. In the next few years I was working at google. First as an sre and then a compiler developer on gcc. During that time I kept llvm as my 20% project as much as possible. Working on it was always a refreshing experience. It was far easier to change and far less political than gcc at the time. My opportunity to be back full time on llvm came with portable native client (pnacl). They needed to be able to emit elf objects from llvm ir and so I went to work on elf support for mc. Unfortunately another job change (mozilla) made llvm a side project again after that. I still managed to contribute to llvm/clang as I helped mozilla transition away from gcc 4.2 on OS X. It is only about 5 years ago that I started working on llvm full time again. The big item this time was elf support in lld. I was really excited when Rui posted a new design for a coff linker and did my best to find a corresponding design for elf. Unfortunately the last few years haven't been the same. On the technical side llvm now feels far bigger and slower to change. There are many incomplete transitions. That, by itself, would not be sufficient reason to leave. llvm still seems better than the competition and lld itself is still awesome. The reason for me leaving are the changes in the community. The current license change discussions unfortunately bring to memory the fsf politics when I was working on gcc. That would still not be sufficient reason to leave. As with the code, llvm will still have the best license and if the only community change was the handling of the license change I would probably keep going. The community change I cannot take is how the social injustice movement has permeated it. When I joined llvm no one asked or cared about my religion or political view. We all seemed committed to just writing a good compiler framework. Somewhat recently a code of conduct was adopted. It says that the community tries to welcome people of all "political belief". Except those whose political belief mean that they don't agree with the code of conduct. Since agreement is required to take part in the conferences, I am no longer able to attend. The last drop was llvm associating itself with an organization that openly discriminates based on sex and ancestry (1,2). This goes directly against my ethical views and I think I must leave the project to not be associated with this. So long, and thanks for all the bugs, Rafael [1] http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-February/121161.html [2] https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/

I mean, they already have off all the time while they're waiting for you in front of the Yale Club, or while you visit your factories. You think they're actually doing what you tell them to do while you have your back turned? No-sir-ee-bob. They're listening to "the ball game" on the wireless or talking with the other drivers, no doubt planning a bolshie revolution. Kill them all and bring on the self-driving cars, I say.

Primary Identification if you were missing any of this, or (more likely) you brought one that didn't quite count, or you thought you only needed to bring one proof of address rather than two different ones, too bad you waited in line for nothing, go home and try again next time!

I was recently in the Seattle DMV to get a new title printed for my motorcycle (I had the temp one from the lender after I paid it off), as well as some new tags. Apparently they changed the abbreviation for moto guzzi in the system, so I had to stand with the clerk for about 40 minutes while she called olympia, asked me several times for the spelling, etc. It was annoying but otoh I realize I'm king shithead in my college prep teeshirt and my obscure italian motorcycle with this huge line behind me and a woman at the end of her shift probably wishing I would just disappear.

my first trip to the california DMV was in santa clara (well, second trip, I went there once without an appointment thinking "how bad could it be" and saw the line wrapped around the building and yeah...) and it wasn't great; I still had to wait in a shorter line because of just how many people were there and just the general functional illiteracy resulting in people being in the wrong line then I had to go through a bunch of stuff to get vehicle inspected and do paperwork and take the test and everything; I had to come back a second time to finish everything up because they were closing so yeah that was fun i also lost my motorcycle license in the process because my SO at the time was doing the paperwork while i was doing the vehicle inspection and they didn't do that part, so I guess I'll have to go through that whole process again some day if I ever wanted it back (which is pretty unlikely at this point) this time I went to one of the central valley DMVs and it was pretty quick with appointment (no line); just had to park at like a grocery store a bit away because it was located next to a bunch of car dealerships and auto shops which meant all parking was non-existent also my appointment was still like a month out when I made it
