Show HN: A VSCode Extension to edit HTML visually in real-time

we've come full circle - macromedia dreamweaver had this in 2001

Wait till you hear about Typescript, you know adding types to ECMAScript, like Macromedia did some 20 years ago. :)

Being in the industry for 20+ years and starting as a teenager making games in Flash it makes really hard for me to treat webdev seriously with all their revolutionary innovations.

At work I often encounter a resistance to a tech or solution I propose, because "there hasen't been any substational contribution to the repository in a week, seems dead to me". To which I kindly respond with a question - how do you calculate hypotenuse, because it's been a long time since Pythagoras made the last commit. Meanwhile, some of my friends are still doing side jobs using CakePHP, 20 years later. :)

> how do you calculate hypotenuse, because it's been a long time since Pythagoras made the last commit.

Asinine - everything advances and needs maintenance over time, even geometry. I invite you to try building a game without using quaternions or projective (ie non-euclidean) geometry.

Edit: does hn award points based on contrariness? Or is it just that people on hn think they're super clever with their contrary point?

quaternions - 1843, Hamilton

projective geometry - 1420's but big in the 19th Century.

These are things I used heavily programming earth mapping systems in the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. Principal reference text was from the 1920s.

... The guy I responded to is saying Pythagoras is good enough. Do you know what year Pythagoras died?
