It goes deeper. People learn over time that complex web apps work badly in Firefox, because developers mostly test in Chrome. So they don't even bother trying it in Firefox.

RocksDB supports hashing at multiple levels (key, value, files) because Meta also realized the importance of integrity. It also supports verifying them in bulk. Presumably filesystems built over rocksdb also support this.

It was mostly an old-school kind of wargames. There was an article about a giant real 3D map in a room with all the commanders there discussing what each one has to do, contingencies, ... The reason for the counter-offensive failure were mu

If it's consistent and persistent, wouldn't that classify as broken hardware requiring device change? Even with 3 chips, if one is permanently wrong you are then left with only 2 working ones so no redundancy is left for further d

It would be easy for competition to reverse engineer the physical layout. I think it's "secret" because nobody really cares. Do you care for example how the CPU maps the linear memory space across physical RAM sticks and chip
