1024 origin of programmer's day in 2002, Valentin Balt, a Russian programmer, collected signatures and petitioned the government of the Russian Federation to designate September 13 as the programmer's day.
On September 1 1, 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the festival arrangement plan, and "Programmer's Day" has since become an official festival in Russia. In addition to Russia, some programmer communities in other countries will also celebrate this festival. Why September 13? Because it is the 256th day of every year (leap year is September 12). The number 256 is of special significance to programmers. 1 byte (equal to 8 bits) can represent at most 256 values. In a whole year, 256 is the value less than 365 in the largest power of 2. Therefore, it is suggested that 65438+1October 24th be designated as the programmer's day in China, because 1024 is not only a common number used by programmers, but also the date of 65438+1October 24th is very intuitive and will not change in normal years and leap years.
1024 Programmer's Day is located on10/October 24th because the hardware system running the program is based on 1024. For example:1g =1024m1m =1024kb.
On June 24th, 65438 10, the Global Programmer Festival opened in Xi 'an. At this Global Programmer's Day, Belarusian Ambassador to China Luther kirill, Turing Prize winner Adi Chamil, China Academy of Engineering academician Ni Guangnan, President of Beijing Institute of Technology Zhang Jun, Chairman and CEO of ChinaSoft International Chen Yuhong, and General Manager of Google's Greater China Channel Division Bai Yong will gather in the ancient city to talk about the new trends in the software industry and the new digital future!
This year's Programmer's Day will release the Xi 'an Declaration on the Belt and Road 5G Industry and the Sponsor's Proposal for the Belt and Road 5G Technology Innovation Alliance, highlighting Xi 'an's confidence and determination to develop the digital economy and the 5G industry.
