Happy Programmers' Day
- chrismorgan 13y agoThe apostrophe is in the wrong spot; it should be Programmers' Day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmers%27_Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmers%27_Day
- alagappanr 13y agofixed!
- TeamMCS 13y agoQA?
- moondowner 13y agoOr legal ;)
- jonaldomo 13y agoI love that this is the first comment.
- chris_wot 13y agoOn top of that, there are no such things as happy programmers. Why didn't anyone point that out?
- Dirlewanger 13y agoIncorrect. The apostrophe is only after the possessive if the thing it's owning is plural in addition to the possessive. Day is not plural.
- chrismorgan 13y ago... what? Where did that grammar rule come from?
- speedyrev 13y agohttp://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp See rule #4
- obituary_latte 13y agoo = (function() { p = 'programmer'; d = 'day'; h = 'Happy'; r = Math.floor((Math.random()*10000)); (r % 2 === 0)?ap="'s":ap="s'"; return h + ' ' + p + ap + ' ' + d; }); o(); awaits correction
- educating 13y agoI think a better choice for Programmers' Day would be New Year's Day, as there is no day 0.
- alagappanr 13y agoNew Year's Day would still be Day 1.
- educating 13y agoYes, that's point. 0 and 1. No day 0, so make it day 1.
- pyre 13y agoYou're just taunting us that the year isn't zero-indexed! You could at least have the decency to hide it from us like Oracle[1]. [1] http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/substr.php http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/substr.php
- mistercow 13y agoWow, that was upsetting to read.
- pyre 13y agoThe best part is that they have to keep it to maintain backwards compatibility!
- mistercow 13y agoThat's when you bring down the deprecation hammer and create a new function with a different name and sane behavior. No need to actually remove the functionality at any point, but at least they could get code bases to phase it out.
- jamesadney 13y agoIt's not Programmers' Day where I'm at. Stupid timezones!
- erichurkman 13y agoTimezones: a bane of any programmer's existence.
- educating 13y agoProgrammers' Day is UTC. If everyone used UTC, there would be no bane.
- lutusp 13y agoThat and daylight time. Together they assure no uninterrupted sleep and no project completed on time.
- andyidsinga 13y agocan use to our advantage and claim we're working on a TZ several hours behind the rest of our coworkers. "I'm not late yet!!!" :)

- bliti 13y agoDo we get a wish? If so, I'd like some extra time to develop some open source android apps. Been meaning to do so, but time...
- andyidsinga 13y agowe need a _happy programmmers_ day
- simgidacav 13y agoNobody would celebrate that. :D
- andyidsinga 13y agoheheh :)
- RBerenguel 13y agoNull pointer referenced
- cema 13y agoOh brother, just have a happy _programmers day_.
- benzoate 13y agoIf only I could convince my employer to give me the day off without using my annual leave allowance...
- orware 13y agoOne day I'll make use of the codeappreciationday.org site I got back in 2011. We should make it an official startup company holiday ;-).
- hoffcoder 13y agoWhat is the point in having such _days_? Consequently, shouldn't we also have a Scientists' day, an Actors' day, a Plumbers' day, blah blah? Everyone has a place in the universe. All we have to do is never to forget our true calling.
- kombine 13y agoThat's the heritage of Soviet Union, where people of labor were the cornerstone of ideology. Consequently every profession got the day to celebrate. I haven't seen it in any other country.
- simgidacav 13y agoProgrammers are awesome.
- toyg 13y agoIt varies country by country, but I'm pretty sure you'll find various aspects of humanity being celebrated on specific days (women, father/mother, workers, and so on), sometimes even at the UN level (i.e. theoretically worldwide). The point is to get mainstream attention to the achievements and problems of specific and necessary roles which would otherwise be mostly overlooked. In some cases the celebration is named after the activity (e.g. fighting cancer), but meaning is exactly the same -- would calling it "Programming Day" suit you better?
- msoad 13y agoSo it's day 0x100. Good to know
- DH61AG 13y agoWhy do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because OCT(31) = DEC(25)
- xyfer 13y agoCheers! https://github.com/the-teacher/cocktails_for_programmers/blob/master/cocktails_for_programers.md https://github.com/the-teacher/cocktails_for_programmers/blo...
- pre 13y agoSo are we supposed to take a holiday from programming on programmers day, or double our efforts and do more programming? Or just drink a lot after work?
- mrich 13y agoYes.
- imdsm 13y agoBorn on Programmers' Day, I feel like the night I was born, a falling star killed the village elder.
- Toenex 13y agoSurely in a time where Programmers' Day has any meaning, the status of village elders has somewhat passed.
- imdsm 13y agoI was hoping someone would get the ADOM reference.
- terabytest 13y ago"The night I was born, all of the screens in the hospital went blue"
- chris_wot 13y agoWho was also the village idiot.
- henriquea 13y agoThis is how I feel today http://cdn.meme.li/i/mditt.jpg http://cdn.meme.li/i/mditt.jpg
- nej 13y agoProgrammers' Day lands on Friday the 13th hmmmm...
- rplnt 13y agoWhat are the odds!? 1:7 was my guess, but quick check from 1990 to 2200 shows it's much higher, in 60 out of 210 years it will be Friday on Programmers' Day, with all days occurring 29, 31, 30, 0, 60, 30 and 30 times for Monday through Sunday respectively.
- inafield 13y agoTry this... version 13 of software... 13th rc release... on the 13th... in 2013.
- coffeeyesplease 13y agoHigh fives all around
- pavelludiq 13y agoTraditional programmers day celebration in Bulgaria: - Write meaningless programs - Play games - Drink beer Same as most other days actually.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI think you mean play C-S 1.6 specifically and drink rakia.
- smoyer 13y agoThank you!
- kybernetyk 13y agoSo where's the obligatory google doodle? :)
- Shtirlic 13y agoIt is officially recognized in Russia.
- pagade 13y agoI intended to make some code check-in at work today as token of celebrating this day. But the task slipped. I should be able to do it by tomorrow evening though :)
- aerotrain 13y agoOnes' complement to the day - 1111 1111
- nulldata 13y agoProgrammers' Day, Friday the 3th and my birthday!
- GetSSL_me 13y agowe made a plan for today - https://getssl.me/en/programmers-day https://getssl.me/en/programmers-day
