Mueller bombshell: 13 Russian 'troll factory' staffers charged with allegedly meddling in US presidential election

Having read the indictment....

If you read the indictment at least up to page 25 you find that the entire thing revolves around an ID theft ring. With a large amount of ancillary fluff which likely is already protected under the First Amendment. To me this seems like they rolled up a Russian ID theft ring and found anything and everything they could to try and tie it to the 2016 election. Likely Annie Russian illicit operation would have done the trick so long as they could find any information that they could tie to the 2016 election.

Official: Perl the most hated programming language, say devs

Haskell

The only reason perl tops this list is because of how few people have been forced to use Haskell :)

take :: Int -> [a] -> [a]

take n _ | n <= 0 = []

take n [] = []

take n (x:xs) = x : take (n-1) xs

How is that not clear?
