I’m going to complain about cookie pop-ups, but see me out: https://veed.io/view/1a675b8d-cbc2-4c24-b10f-f91f7a0b8cfe https://veed.io/view/1a675b8d-cbc2-4c24-b1

That stuttering is me trying to scroll. When I finally can, I’ve been subject to a 10s penalty.
- wredue 3y agoThat’s not cookie pop ups. That’s functional programming strategies poisoning the brains of developers causing them to believe that rewriting their page on every request is preferable because otherwise they have to think about “70,000 page states”. They’re trading user experience for a mythical silver bullet of programming that some dude on medium told them was the holy grail and proved it using simple, horribly contrived anecdotes.
- poorlyknit 3y ago> rewriting their page on every request That's not how virtual DOM works. EDIT: Also the concept of "virtual DOM" is way older than shitty websites themselves (was applied to native GUI stuff before JS was even a thing). What you're seeing is just a shitty website.
- wredue 3y agoYeah. It’s not like functional programming is known for being slow, and every page adopting these ridiculous strategies has universally gotten worse and slower. Oh wait.
- gedy 3y agoThat page does not use React afaict, if that is what you are getting at.
- pwg 3y agoWith Ublock Origin set to block all the Javascript, there are no cookie popups and no scroll breakage.
- fanatic2pope 3y agoSwitching to reader view fixes this kind of thing, although some sites seem to be able to block it now.

- dawnerd 3y agoThe site constantly reloads for me in iOS and is unusable.
- darinpantley 3y agoI saw the same behavior in iOS, but switching to the desktop version of the site worked normally.
