The syntax discriminates between "changing the value where the reference points to" and "changing where the reference points to". The code is doing the former. The second use of * could be made unnecessary if the standar

Increased housing costs don't cause drug addiction, but it does cause an increase in homelessness, and that does cause drug addiction, which in turn over time can cause mental illness or make it worse.

I find that people that conform to the "asshole genius" trope are far outnumbered by the assholes that believe themselves to be geniuses.

It makes sense that a product that came later would incorporate what they learned from the previous one. The race in manufacturing is always between "better expertise/technology" and "cost cutting".

It's also not an all or nothing rule: `type Alias = impl Trait;` will have in effect the same issues that return and argument type inference could have, and I am convinced that the issues around diagnostics caused by type errors involv
