IMO, it's worth breaking CA up in the survey. At a minimum, Northern and Southern. Califorina at times is like many states. Living in the Northeastern US, "California" is kind of like combining New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine into a single state.

Yeah, why not split north Italy and south Italy then?

And Mexico, there are at least 3 main regions: Northern Mexico (with cities like Tijuana, Monterrey, Chihuahua, Juarez, etc), Central Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Leon) and Southern Mexico (Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Chiapas, etc).

Yeah, 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?

Well it's only 3 hours old and it's currently #14 on /best, so there is probably a good chance everyone will see it.

Chiming 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 :-)

I hope there is someone who knows how to code in this community to parse the results and do a nice visualization. I have a cousin who knows about computers, if noone knows here how to do it, I can ask him to try. He always helps me with my printer.

Ask codegolf.stackexchange.com, there's probably a Mathematica one-liner to display a globe with colour-coded areas.

Someone should actually post it there and then post the question here...

https://wheredohnuserslive.vercel.app/ Visualized it by countries and us states. Should update every 30 seconds.

That's awesome! Thank you for making this map.

Great to see several people from Mexico! BTW, the fact that only the US country has options separated by state reminds me of when I lived in Europe, and sometimes we got together with a bunch of international. Invariably the "where are you from" question would pop up, to which almost everyone would answer with their country... except Americans, who would answer with their state haha. Once, I asked someone where they…

As an American I do this because I always get the follow up question of where in the US. It’s just more efficient this way.

Texas is without power at the moment.

My parents house in California had no electricity for over a week (Christmas through New Year's, and it was sporadic until about Jan 8). I think the state is still doing fine as a tech hub.

I think the point is that if a large portion of Texas currently didn't have power (which seems to not be the case, but whatever), then they might be under-represented in this poll because I imagine fewer people in place without power would be browsing HN than usual.

I'm currently working on a vue + vuex server side rendered PWA with client side hydration.i found the perfect UI component library which only adds ~3mb of overhead,which went paired with Chart.js and of course wrapped with VueCharts.js should be able to query a graphql endpoint to process the results and display in the browser. What do you all think of kubernetes, overkill?

Kubrernetes is an old thechnology. It should be serverless!

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.

I’m reading this at 7am from Perth. On a Saturday, so I imagine Australian engagement might be low for the next few hours still.
