System Design
Why does the news feed case study use cursor-based pagination rather than offset-based pagination?
A
Cursor-based pagination is always faster to compute regardless of context
B
New posts inserted at the top of the feed would shift numeric offsets underneath an in-progress scroll, which cursor-based pagination avoids by referencing a stable position
C
Offset-based pagination is not technically possible for feeds
D
It has no real benefit and is just a stylistic preference
