From a technical/algorithmic POV - this doesn't sound particularly remarkable, because it sounds about the same as how modern CPU's "boost" themselves. And actually, I think there is similar tech in "speaker sy

I wonder if using structuredClone() has a performance penalty compared to a simple block-scoped closure though? let doFn, undoFn; {const newStroke = currentStroke; doFn = ()=>strokes.push(newStroke); undoFn = ()=>strokes.pop();}

LPG had its chance here in Australia in the 2000's, but it didn't work out [1]. Subsidised conversions were offered back then, which many people took up on their 80's+90's model cars, but it probably led to the early dem
