The author expected this comment, but i'd still like to note that this website saturates at least one core of my laptop, more depending where I scroll.

There are tons of autoplaying videos, and each one takes a few % of my CPU. The biggest difference for me was the one just after the heading "Who needs December 30, 2011 anyway". Turning off autoplay (e.g. media.autoplay.enabled in Firefox) fixed it. You can still play each video by right-clicking on it.

  The autoplaying videos are a pain, I couldn't find "media.autoplay.enabled" in my Preferences menu in Firefox, and this in the article calling me "clueless" doesn't help: > it is predictable that some clueless commenter on Hacker News will complain that this page has autoplaying video on it

    Type about:config into the address bar and then search in there.

  yeah, that map zoom animation eats half a core for me

The colors make it harder to read than necessary, and the text is bigger than I prefer on my phone. Reader mode didn’t work, so I gave up.

  Sorry about the lack of support for Reader mode; not entirely sure why that's happening (it's a pretty basic markup structure). If anyone's got thoughts on that, let me know and I'm happy to fix it. (Finna hang on to my videos, though! Life doesn't always need to be so one dimensional, particularly for one-offs like this.)

But it does look gorgeous and it absolutely screams luxury layout and typesetting... so there’s that.

  Huh, I guess I need to enable more scripts.

What browser is that? In Safari it seems to use negligible CPU when just text is on the screen, which goes up to maybe 20% of one core if one of the big videos is visible. It's also not enough to get the CPU to raise it's frequency/power consumption out of the idle state it is on, say, hacker news.
