Oh

Oh, Apple, the GNU versions of your command line tools have had this option since 1999, why am I having to `brew install coreutils` and prefix regular commands with "g" to make things work?

Edit: It's worse than that, Apple's date -Iseconds is equivalent to GNU's date --iso8601=seconds.

Edit Edit: It has been pointed out to me that this boils down to FreeBSD vs GNU.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
