If you know anyone who might benefit from the data, let me know!

Because our priority is having the page load quickly, and having to load data for 3k+ counties on a national map would slow things down. The state view is a compromise between speed and giving the user enough info to then go more granular by checking the state view they're interested in.

The electricity provider there specifically asked us to not publish the data, and has gone to extensive lengths to block us from getting it.

Very few do. Only 155 utilities out of over 3,000

Thanks for catching that! Will get it fixed.

You can email me at tech at poweroutage.us if you want to talk.

Both!

Complex datasets are always in demand! I wish we'd gotten into something simpler, because in this specific case it's very high maintenance. The data sources constantly change and have no standard for reporting. We try to make it as simple as possible for people who need the information, so it's a lot of work on our side.

If you click on the state, you get a county view.

Yeah heard there is ice coming down in some places. Stay safe!

Hopefully they get power back soon. I'm one of the people behind the website, so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Especially if you're interested in the data :)

Yeah Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code. The main issue is the new code is built using an old .NET framework that isn't supported by the C# plugins on Visual Studio Code.

I think you have some good points, especially when it comes to supporting other devs. The hosted dev boxes make sense, assuming it's not laggy / slow to develop on. Will explore the Azure Microsoft Dev Box option and see how it feels.

Thanks for this! I considered doing Windows cloud VMs, but just seemed like a hassle.

I'll try out Windows ARM with Parallels.

In this case we didn't acquire their hardware.

Yeah dual booting was the solution I was hoping to avoid, mostly because it's inconvenient to transfer information between the two systems on one machine, but it seems that's the most viable solution.

I looked at WINE, but read that specifically Visual Studio doesn't work very well on it.

Thank you! :)
