International Programmers' Day celebrates the positive changes that programmers make to improve everyday lives. It is usually held on January 7, but is also popularly celebrated on September 13 for some people and September 12 in leap years, so it coincides with the 256th day of the year. Programmers know that 256 is the number of distinct values that that can be represented with an 8-bit byte, and 256 is the highest power of 2 that is less than 365, the number of days in a year.
