Happy Programmer Day
Its 256th of the year :-)
- Beanblabber 17y agoBy that logic... the 2nd,4th,8th,16th,32nd,64th,128th days are all days of the programmer. I guess we're just cool enough to get "sum(x +=x while x < 256)" days each year
- paulitex 17y agoUmm... you mean "8", right?
- idan 17y agoNope, he really means 2.
- Raphael 17y agoIt's the largest power of 2 under 365.
- Beanblabber 17y agoI failed.

- PieSquared 17y agoI'm having such a great time telling all my friends about this :) (who are also coders)
- SingAlong 17y agosomething similar here. I'm going to write about this to my girlfriend (who is a wanna-be-hacker). Now I have another reason to speak to her. This day also has another significance. It's on this day that IBM introduced the first storage disk unit the RAMAC 305 in 1956 and it stored 5 million 8-bit characters. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAMAC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAMAC
- NathanKP 17y agoSo what are we going to do to celebrate "Programmer Day"? Clearly, I'll have to celebrate by digging out some old coding projects and reminiscing. ;)
- rbanffy 17y agoThat's so 8-bit!
