With a bold-weight, sans-serif font like that page has, I agree that
it hurts my eyes to have white on black.  When I have normal-weight,
serif fonts, dark on light is preferable to me; I can read more of it
longer without eyestrain or the text just becoming "grey".

I spend most of my day looking at code and command-lines (both use
serif fonts) on my screen, and the light backgrounds behind text
reduce the time I can work significantly so I set my editor and
terminals to light colors on black.
