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 spee…

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 h…

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 thin…

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 d…

We've recently acquired a company that uses windows for a lot of their development (C#, Visual Studio, Azure, etc). Most of us use mac or linux, which has caused some issues with t…

Thank you! :)

Thanks for posting this! I'll look into testing ClipperLib as well. If it's 400x faster, that would be great.

Personal intros could definitely be an option, although no one jumps out, so I might have to take a more systematic approach. Hmm, I didn't even consider accelerators (how ironic).…

I'm normally a very optimistic person, but doing five years of bootstrapped startups and side projects with no major wins feels like I'm a pair of molars being worn away by a habit…

"if blocking cellular signal is infeasible" - just get them signed up with AT&T, ZING! On a more serious note, have you tried working in a public library rather than a coffee shop?…

Can attest to this. We used it to build https://findenergy.com which has over 15k pages and a TON of data.
