Are you sure they weren't just a Russian official? I hear windows are pretty dangerous there.

Here's an example https://www.google.com/robots.txt

Basically it's a file people put in their root directory of their domain to tell automated web crawlers what sections of the website and what kind of web crawlers are allowed to access their resources.

It isn't a legally binding thing, more of a courtesy. Some sites may block traffic if they're detecting the prohibited actions, so it gives your crawlers an idea of what's okay in order to not get blocked.

Cheating is simply a losing arms race. Client side monitoring may be a deterrent for the lazy cheater but it won't be enough to stop them. Only thing I see actually being viable is server-side machine learning to detect and monitor anomalies and suspicious behavior. (I don't know much about this in actual practice and this is just some wild speculation)

Well, if anyone has a chance in the failing fascist hellhole state of Florida, it's an old white Republican man with a criminal history.

Exactly my reaction as well. The only 'benefit' she lists that I can truly see is 'greater visibility into the code everyone else is working on' but frankly that seems like it could be a burden as well.

Sometimes you don't need to know. If your team organizes it's projects and assignments well, you very well may be able to work on your small piece and integrate it without really needing to know every little thing every other person is working on.

With frequent commits branches just seem like an easier way to resolve conflicts as well as speed up the ability for others to test and merge their changes while you can resolve issues with a build.
