PHP 8 to Add a JIT

Re:PHP 8 to Add a JIT by JauntyHatAngle on Sunday March 31, 2019 @11:50PM (#19540329)

Not OP, but for me (as a potential example) there are websites that I want to scroll up and down on to view different things, but when you scroll down far enough websites have an annoying habit of auto-opening the comments at the bottom, suddenly tripling (or more) the length of the page, making me lose my spot on the page (potentially) and also making it harder to scroll with precision and/or need to scroll through all this new content I didn't want.

Its a minor quibble on desktop, but on mobile its a really annoying feature because I have to manually scroll with my finger for an age.

Doesn't your browser scroll much faster when you swipe twice in quick succession? I mean while the scrolling is going on, you swipe again and in worst case a third time. I never need to swipe more than three times unless the page is gigantic.

Yes, but then if I'm looking for a specific part it has scrolled way past and I need to then scroll back down, sometimes past it, and then scroll back up. Bearing in mind I have to scan the page as it flashes past too.

It's a frustrating experience.
