You generally need a sufficient volume of traffic for a mixer to be effective. A nobody spinning up their own copy of the contract may have trouble attracting the volume. If this becomes a significant issue, the treasury can expand the sanc

It is worth noting that the Treasury clearly indicates that the concept of a mixer while inherently risky, could be fine designed such that it can't easily be used for illegal money laundering. For example, if a smart contract mixer wa

The default mode of Obra Dinn actually is not using true 1 bit graphics. It is downsampled double resolution rendering, with additional softening added. It is very subtle about it, and I only noticed on my second play-though when I noticed

In a similar vein, Elixir has what is basically compile-time-only macros (the macros being conceptually similar to Scheme's). You can transform the AST to arbitrary other AST, with hygiene, and of course, provides ways to reference the

The compiler does not need to implement it with the macros shown. They could use other techniques, so long as it has the same net result of preserving constness of the argument. For example, the macro definitions could easily use a macro th
