Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel

news.ycombinator.com Posted June 2025-08-19 14:32:10

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

Rust and WASM for Form Validation

In recent years, Rust and WebAssembly have become much more usable for pure backend-style engineers. When I say “pure backend-style”, I mean people who never wrapped their heads around React, SPAs, and all that stuff. This, unsurprisingly, includes me. For a very long time, in order to use WASM you were strongly guided towards using Webpack and a whole array of Node-related tools in order to just get started.

GM’s Cruise Cars Are Back on the Road in Three US States—But Not for Ride-Hailing

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road… well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies. This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland.

Zuckerberg Was Wrong About the Metaverse. Can We Really Trust Him With Superintelligent AI?

Mark Zuckerberg once sold us the metaverse. Now he wants us to believe he’s going to lead us into the age of superintelligence. Should we fall for it again? Elon Musk once called him “Zuck the Fourteenth,” a jab comparing Meta’s CEO to France’s King Louis XIV—a monarch infamous for his ego, extravagance, and disregard for limits. It’s a fitting label, especially as Zuckerberg floods the headlines, positioning himself as Silicon Valley’s new AI king. But let’s rewind. Just a few years ago, Zuc

The American system of democracy has crashed

Once upon a time in America, there was a tyrant. And Congress rejected him totally. The tyrant, of course, was King George III, the target of the Declaration of Independence. We take it for granted now, but the Declaration was an enormous political innovation — in it, the country that became the United States of America laid claim to certain “unalienable” rights, rights that took precedence over any king or crown. To protect those rights, our Founders declared that the People were allowed to “

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history and may not be done falling yet. The greenback is down more than 7% this year and Morgan Stanley predicts it could fall another 10%. A weaker dollar could make US exports more competitive, boosting Trump’s plan to rebalance US trade, but makes imports more expensive, adding to the sting of tariffs. The question ahead is whether the dollar doesn’t just lose its value, but its role at the center of the global financial system. So far,
