Feels dangerous to run. What happens if the file already exists and has something important in it?

touch -a is probably better

The best way to validate an email address is to sent it an email validation link.

Anything outside of that is a waste of effort.

It depends on the application.

I don't remember all the specifics but this is the blog post I refer to when this topic comes up

The only time using UTC breaks down is when any sort of time change gets involved.

If I say I want a reminder at 9am six months from now and you store that as UTC, a day light savings change will mean I get my reminder an hour early or late depending on where in the world I am

If you have the option of hosting it somewhere else have a look into OBS.

It's open source desktop recording software.

A little more technical than Loom but if you get it going it will serve you well

That's pipenv. Pip just has the capability to read and write from a requirements.txt, which is a step that must be taken manually

People have already covered the great ones so I will mention one of the more obscure.
