Also can add "Cache-Control: no-transform" header, which prevents modifying the payload.


Does it prevent it? Or just request it? There's no way to enforce that is there?


CF owns it all, coming and going (request handling and response writing), thus can choose how/whether to interpret, ignore, modify or append any headers.


It’s provably load-bearing.

I think the advent of world models is going to open up a lot of interesting 3D applications with related graphics & rendering challenges. That intersecting with WebGPU general availability across browsers IMO makes graphics programming a very interesting domain to get into now. I certainly see the need in my dayjob.


A healthy wolf population is the proper (trophic cascading) solution to the tick epidemic.


Can you expand on this provide me pointer to research for this? I am not an expert in the fields but it seems very interesting


The most cited research studied wolves' affect on elk populations in Yellowstone restoring riparian habitats(1).

Wolves' impact on the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer has also been studied(2). “CWD prevalence could be halved within a decade and eliminated within the century if a pack of wolves consistently and selectively removed 15% of deer in a closed population” (Waldner, 2016)

I don't know if wolves' impact on tick populations has been explicitly studied, but you can find research on habitat diversity reducing ticks(3); and it follows that the lack of predators contributes to deer population explosion, which in turn provides an unbounded vector for the tick epidemic.

Mice are actually the prime vector for ticks.


I would much rather encounter a hungry tick on a recreational trail than a hungry wolf


A hungry tick is much more likely to make your life miserable because you’re significantly more likely to encounter one in ecosystems with both species.


Make sure the wolves are well fed.


You just have to outrun the other hikers.


Given the utter paucity of wolf attacks on humans (vastly, incomprehensibly lower than the rates of Lyme disease), this is a deeply silly thing to worry about.

It’s really clear, sometimes, who hasn’t seen a place that isn’t paved.


This feels like a generalisable cognitive bug with our species.

"Kill all the wolves, die as a result from invisible bacteria carried by tiny arthropods - or from Type 2 diabetic heart failure, as getting out for a hike and staying safe is now too much hassle".


So I don't necessarily disagree with you but people way more rugged than we are and who didn't even knew what a paved road was decided to get rid of wolves a long time ago.

Moreover, what I observed is that urban professional class populations are usually way more in favor of wolves reintroduction than rural working class population.


> Moreover, what I observed is that urban professional class populations are usually way more in favor of wolves reintroduction than rural working class population.

Perhaps their reasons is an economic one (wolf attacks on livestock) and not an human safety one ?


It is definitely an economic one. I occasionally help on a sheep farm which has not been attacked. But colleagues on farms in neighbouring counties have had sheep killed by local wolves. Even if they publicly claim they they lost a lot of money and work (which is true) they also say also fear for their safety. However, in private they are not worried, they know the wolves will flee as soon as a human appears.


Well because they would risk losing a handful of sheep occasionally (which the government would likely pay for anyway). Also the prevalence of general cultural hatred of natural habitats and ecosystems prevalent amongst some sections of rural populations.

> was decided to get rid of wolves a long time ago.

Outside of islands like Britain that only really happened in the 1800s after wolves stopped being a threat anyway. Also interestingly enough in quite a few places in Western Europe more area was deforested and exploited for agriculture between the medieval period and the 20th century than now. That naturally made cohabiting with wolves and bears a bit problematic (now there are way more forests and protected areas, of course this only really applies to Europe not North America)


Higharc | REMOTE | Full-time | https://higharc.com

Thousands of homes have been built with Higharc since 2022. We’re changing the way homebuilders design, sell, estimate, and build, resulting in better, more affordable homes.

I’m starting a new Labs team to expand our platform and explore new markets in residential construction. I’m especially looking for a rare, entrepreneurial product engineer:

* Staff Software Engineer, Labs - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/c620be3c-6529-4776-9f02-da1...

We’re also hiring across all teams, from fullstack generalists to ML engineers, keenly interested in folks looking for deep, technical challenges:

* Director of Engineering, Studio - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/469e843e-58c4-4e07-91be-d9a...

* Senior Software Engineer, Geometric Modeling/CAD - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/higharc/d5fbcbf0-0b50-4561-87e6-71c...

* More roles here https://www.higharc.com/company/careers

This is an exceptional opportunity to work on something with real-world impact, with a team of talented & passionate folks across a wide range of domains. We are ~200 people across the world (mostly US) and growing quickly. We were recently named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2026.

Thanks to everyone who previously reached out and/or applied (all 1300+ of you)


As a member of that group of 1300+, I'm wondering if there's something specific you're looking for which no one has addressed?


Thank you for asking! That depends on the role - some of them have specific subject matter requirements listed in the job descriptions (for instance a deep knowledge of computational geometry), though not all.


Funny, I just today merged our migration from Next (with turbopack, page router, ~200 pages) to Vite + Tanstack Router. Builds went from 2.5m to 25s.

But even bigger was the improvement to dev mode compile times. With Vite it’s near instant. With Next running our e2e tests in development was utter pain.

So happy to leave next & vercel behind.

Here is says 'REMOTE' but the links say 'Remote (United States)'. Which is it?


Now animate it with SMIL


Bravo, that’s a seriously impressive undertaking, and a great demonstration of the augmentation potential in agentic coding. There’s so much focus on replacing entry-level work it gets missed what these power tools can do in the hands of people who know what they’re doing.
