• ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:…) which is nicer to read.

      This is about the old argument around how date strings are formatted.

      MMDDYYYY vs YYYYMMDD, spaces or hyphens may differ. It’s an old and passionate argument (mostly due to the American approach of starting with the month being insane)

          That’s a certain kind of skill I wouldn’t want the need to have. I just copy paste those timestamps into a terminal with date -d @ (and always forget the right syntax for that :D)
