Ah sorry, it should be EST, updated the article to say that :)
- fredley 11y agoGreat stuff, but please normalise to UTC in future. Everyone (reading this) knows their own offset from UTC and can probably makes sense of the data directly in that format. For anything else I have to go and lookup the offset between that timezone and mine.
- scoppini 11y agoNot everyone knows the difference between their timezone and UTC. I always end up looking up the difference, and it really doesn't matter to me what timezone people use, so long as they state it.
- jmiserez 11y ago(Disclaimer: I'm in Europe) For a website with a US centric audience, I think it makes perfect sense to use a US timezone: The graphs match up well with the sleep/wake patterns in the EST timezone. This makes interpreting the data a bit easier, i.e you can easily tell that there is a morning rush, a lunch rush, etc. (although interestingly, the HN audience doesn't seem to have well-defined break hours as there is just one large peak per day).
- Artemis2 11y ago> The graphs match up well with the sleep/wake patterns in the EST I'd expect them to match more PST/PDT (-4h), that's where the Silicon Valley and YCombinator are.
- ashitlerferad 11y agoHN doesn't seem US centric, there are people from all over the planet here.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoI don't know my offset from UTC offhand.
