Anecdata: HN seems to prefer different content depending on the time of day - I tend to see more programming and software-related stuff in the late evening (PST), news in the morning/early afternoon, and general "interesting stuff" (e.g. Atlas Obscura) in the early evening.
Of course, this may well be confirmation bias, coincidence, or a matter of my browsing habits. It would be interesting to see an actual analysis of content discipline as a function of time.
