Am I the only one to notice that responses here are not only related to the quality and interest of the content, but also to the time of day? Seems like a lot of activity while I sleep (U.S. Eastern Standard Time GMT-5). Maybe I need to shift my "hacker.news day". Where is everyone at?

#2I am steadfastly in GMT. Wherever I go, my watch, phone and laptop remain in GMT. Even in the summer, in the UK, which goes to GMT+1, I stay in GMT.
What hours am I awake? Whatever hours are the most productive. If I have admin tasks then I'll be in daylight hours. Otherwise, I'm most productive doing extended stints.
I've noticed there is a large contingent of UK hackers on this forum. This could account for some activity outside of US office hours. The remainder is probably people doing irregular hours.

I'm right here with you at GMT-5.
