One generally has to dig deeper into how an org works to understand who did what and why. NY gov't won't have the time or resources to check most correctly. This idea smells almost as bad as DOGE's Move Fast And Chainsaw Things.
It's misleading in that it implied the language itself was more compact, which is different from a code-base being time-worn and under-factored.
Somebody getting marketing cash in this loop?
"While this isn't a sign that Java and similar languages are in decline," concludes InfoQ's article, "there is growing evidence that at the uppermost end of performance requirements, some are finding that general-purpose runtimes no longer suffice."
This has always been the case. Since the late 50's there were languages designed to run fast and others that were programmer-friendly instead of machine-friendly.
On exactly what the detector is capable of detecting. If they're looking, at any point, for radio waves, then I'd start there. Do the radio waves correspond to the absorption (and therefore emission) band for any molecule or chemical bond that is likely to arise in the ice?
This is so basic that I'm thinking that if this was remotely plausible, they'd have already thought of it. This is too junior to miss. Ergo, the detector isn't looking for radio waves (which seems the most likely, given it's a particle detector, not a radio telescope), or nothing obvious exists at that frequency (which is only a meaningful answer if, indeed, it is a radio telescope).
So, the question is, what precisely does the detector actually detect?
