Programmers’ Day

The number 256 (2⁸) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte—a number that is typically very well known to programmers. Also, ‘256′ in hexadecimal is ‘100′ (‘0×100′), and it’s the highest power of two that is lower than 365 (the number of days in a year). [Wikipedia]
