Programmer's Day, also known as the Day of the Programmer, is a professional day that is celebrated in Russian Federation on the 256th (hexadecimal 100th, or the 28th) day of each year (September 13 during common years and on September 12 in leap years).
The number 256 (28) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with a byte, a value well known to programmers. 256 is also the highest power of two that is less than 365, the number of days in a common year.

Class of 24 G Jalil Bethea has canceled his upcoming visits to Syracuse and Alabama, per sources https://t.co/MTmMtwoQv6
Bethea, who attends Archbishop Wood High School in Philadelphia, is rated the No. 7 recruit in the ‘24 class by ESPN.com, while 247Sports.com puts him at No. 20.
Prior to his visit to Miami, Bethea visited Villanova and Kansas. He previously visited Syracuse last fall after receiving a scholarship offer from the SU coaches.
Reached via text, Bethea’s father refused to comment.
If Bethea commits to Miami as expected, it will continue the Hurricanes’ success in recruiting out of Philadelphia. Former Miami players Ja’Quan Newton, Lonnie Walker IV and Davon Reed are all Philadelphia natives. All three played AAU ball with Team Final, which is the same AAU club that Bethea plays for.
In addition, Miami assistant coach DJ Irving previously coached for Team Final and was also an assistant at Philadelphia’s Roman Catholic High School.

Watch: 13 top tricks that helped the Savannah Bananas sell out their Syracuse show in hours (PS; Carlson)
The Savannah Bananas are baseball’s modern-day version of the Harlem Globetrotters, a viral video sensation that sold out NBT Bank Stadium in just a few hours when tickets went on sale in mid-July.
The traveling baseball bash is set to visit Syracuse on Thursday, and the cheapest ticket on the three main resale platforms (StubHub, Seat Geek and Vivid Seats) is $90 with fees. Face value for all of those tickets is $25.
The Savannah Banana experience combines athletes and entertainers into a show that balances baseball, backflips and break-dancing. While baseball has developed a reputation as a slow-moving game that doesn’t appeal to younger fans, the Bananas tricks are tailor-made for those who grew up on social media and seek constant engagement.
The team has 2 million followers on Instagram from across the country. To put that in perspective, the popular Syracuse men’s basketball team has 129,000.
