Not sure if this post still ranks in the morning as it's evening in the EU so probably not many people will answer, while the Americas will. I know there are a lot of people from the EU here.
- capableweb 5y agoYeah, would depend on how long it'll be featured on the frontpage page indeed. I know people who only check the /best page once a week or something like that too who would probably miss this unless a ton of people upvote it. Or maybe we can ask @dang to give it a "jobstory" treatment so it keeps around the frontpage for longer?
- belval 5y agoI mean dang could probably just tell us the actual geo breakdown of users...
- young_unixer 5y agoAnd if someone knows a little bit of statistics and someone else knows a little bit about browsing patterns relative to timezones around the world, then we can correct for front page decay.
- rkuykendall-com 5y agoWell it's only 3 hours old and it's currently #14 on /best, so there is probably a good chance everyone will see it.
- marapuru 5y agoChiming in here from the Netherlands at 12 in the night. My guess would be most people check HN during business hours and on weekdays. Based on that guess, my next guess would be that Europe is underrepresented in this poll :-)
- rkuykendall-com 5y agoYes, but on /best, which is pretty stable over a few days, it is now #4
- Sharlin 5y agoChiming in from Finland at 1:42 AM. But I may be an outlier :D
- qnsi 5y agoIm off to a party, see you later HN
- tluyben2 5y agoI remember vaguely being young and friday nights meaning something different than other nights... Meanwhile I'm (in Portugal) trying to fix a dependent type tutorial that bit rotted.
- dgellow 5y agoIdris?
- tluyben2 5y agoNo, I use Idris (2) quite a bit and am quite advanced at dependent types, however I was looking to go further and found [0] and a course using it, but that course uses a 4-5 year old version which has a lot of issues so I am fixing those. I already gave up running the project on a m1 (not really worth solving that issue as I have a x86 Linux machine anyway) so now I just puzzling to get all the stuff from the course to work.

- jll29 5y agoDon't know about other parts of PT, but Lisbon has too great a night life to spend Friday night debugging :)
- dgellow 5y agoHave a great time!
- paxys 5y agoEspecially considering most of the world would have already signed off for the weekend by now.
- tremon 5y agoAlso, it's friday evening now in Europe. I usually don't read HN in the weekends, only during defocus time at work.
- echelon 5y agoAlso it was posted in the afternoon for those on the US East coast. (A Friday afternoon!) Unless this sits near the top of HN for a week, it's very likely to be skewed.
- ImaCake 5y agoI’m reading this at 7am from Perth. On a Saturday, so I imagine Australian engagement might be low for the next few hours still.
- yreg 5y agoWe will need to do another one in other timezones
