Yes, dear fellow members (no offense), today is 256 º (bicentésimo fifty-sixth) day of the year, informally known in the scene as the Day of the programmer.
The reason, dired you, it is today and not any other? Maybe the corresponding Catholic saint? Is it because developers are weirdos? Not really. Being so international, we are not particularly concerned about what saint (s) has assigned the Catholic Church today, as if that were to be particularly important to us (come on, and here it time to say, "which, incidentally, Today is St. just that and holy lalia san, but I will not do because, frankly, is that I give a damn, and feeds even less). Nor is it
programmers we are weirdos (I mean, yes we are, but that does not cause the other effect.) Is that, for reasons too complicated to explain without going through the branches (not that it is difficult to explain, it is very
complicated that I do not go around the bush), is that a byte can only "get" 256 different things.
A byte is defined usually as 8 bits, and a bit is a flip-flop, that is, or is or is not (as under). If we look at combinations with repetition of two elements from eight to eight, for it is the product of eight exponentially with the logarithm of two.
CCR (2.8) = 2 ^ 8: = exp (8 * log (2)) QED
And of course, two to the eight (which is what mon a relatively important and, among so unfortunately, goes unnoticed even in the best families: the ordinals are dying. We

Lanzo, therefore the electronic wind on this day the programmer, bicentésimo duomilésimo fifty-sixth day of the seventh year of the common era, a proposal to defend the victims of politics, the vehicles of expression that characterize our species, the languages of its speakers: Omniversal Association of Friends of the Ordinals (alias Aoao): we join forces all speakers of all languages of all possible universes and other strange combinations that have seen fit exist now in the past, in the future or at any place where even time makes sense: we defend our ordinal!
