"middle of the night here" is morning for most of Europe. Quite late in the morning, when people had time to work and maybe do an HN break. I've noticed that stories posted in the morning (for Europe) can get as much traction as other in the evening (american morning); especially if they touch to subjects we are quite sensitive to.

Did you do any study on HN stats and where its audience is coming from ?

Oh indeed, it's eternal morning on HN. Or rather, eternal second breakfast / coffee break. I did not mean to imply otherwise. It's just easy to forget when in dev mode and it's dark outside.

I did that 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16633521

I keep meaning to rerun that analysis. I saved the code for it using the trick described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22516834.
