Because 1024 is not only a number commonly 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 the same festival for programmers. 1024 is the tenth power of 2 and is one of the basic units of measurement for binary counting. In view of the situation that programmers often work overtime on weekends and often stay up late on weekdays, some Internet organizations have proposed that 65438+1October 24th is 1024 Programmers' Day every year.

Programmers, like 1024, build this technological world with the lowest key, most practical and core functional modules. 1G= 1024M, 1G and 1 are homophonic, which also means first-class Excellence.

Extended data:

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.
