HN uses the "old fashioned" approach of rendering everything server side and every link forces a page reload and I wouldn't describe the experience as "jarring and discontinuous".
I'd rather have a fast full page reload than looking at a spinner while complex client side stuff does its stuff.
[NB I really like React and when good SPAs are very very good - but a lot aren't].
