news.ycombinator.com Posted June 2025-08-12 17:32:10

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel The history of the bcachefs filesystem in the kernel has been turbulent, most recently with Linus Torvalds refusing a pull request for the 6.16-rc3 release. Torvalds has now pulled the code in question, but also said: I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window. You made it very clear that I can't even question any bug-fixes and I should just pull anything and everything. Honestly, at that point, I don't really feel comfortable being involved

How Gareth Edwards Made ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ His Ultimate Spielberg Love letter

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-13 00:00:21

That Jurassic World Rebirth is the seventh film in a franchise started by Steven Spielberg should make at least one thing obvious. The film’s existence alone is a tribute to the iconic director. And while previous iterations have honored the filmmaker’s work in other ways, Rebirth takes things to a whole other level. “In reading the script, there are scenes [and] descriptions where they’re in a boat chasing a giant creature through the water.
