Some days ago was Programmer's Day because September 12 is the 256 day of the year.
256 is the equivalent to one "byte" of data (or, more precisely, the maximum number of values in one byte, including zero).256 also translates into the hexadecimal value of 100. Hex is a base-16 number system, a way to express binary numbers in modern computers, and the subject of a lot of programmer jokes. And 256 is also the highest power of two that is less than 365.
