...ok somehow something was really messed up on that site for me. I opened the tab, went to check out another tab I had open, and firefox was running very poorly. I check task manager, and it says 94% GPU usage is going towards firefox. I close the tab, bam 0.2%. I guess don't leave it open then.
From about a third of the way down the article: He definitely knew what he was doing, though maybe he didn't consider quite how intensive it would be.

It’s so predictable that developers will pooh-pooh having to write timezone code, almost as much as it is predictable that some clueless commenter on Hacker News will complain that this page has autoplaying video on it. And then someone will calmly quote this passage in response, quietly pleased with themselves that the initial commenter was rude and certainly didn’t read the post at all. Then a third person will chime in on the thread saying the author was playing you all like a fiddle anyway, and the real problem is that the post was way too long to start with.

I think he certainly considered how intensive it is, but the author was playing us all like a fiddle anyway, and the real problem with this post is that it's way too long to start with.

I don't think this is just needlessly resource intensive, it's probably either a major bug in the code or someone with a really beefy computer not realizing how bad it is for everyone else.

There is a lot of background video that can be paused. This seems to stop the resource usage
Yup! 9 .mp4 files are loaded from Zach Holman.com/video/
Seems excessive.

I couldn't (and can't) even tell that there's a video anywhere, let alone how to pause it.
Ah, time zones in code. Have you tried dealing with phone numbers? Also a colossal headache.
