Today is October 24, 2018. Today is the exclusive holiday for programmers. PHP Chinese Network hereby wishes all programmers a happy holiday!

Everyone’s circle of friends has been flooded with 1024 Programmer’s Day early in the morning. Although there is no holiday and you may have to work overtime, it does not affect the festive atmosphere at all.

On this day of caring for programmers, merchants have launched preferential promotions. The "Hermax" people shouted the loud slogan "No to bugs, no to hair loss, it starts with me" with full expressions. Caring family members sent 512 holiday red envelopes; considerate female colleagues put on plaid skirts. Looking around, there is a lively scene. PHP Chinese website is here to provide you with a free live training course "php full stack development of small blogs and great wisdom". I wish all programmers and programmers a happy holiday!

# Speaking of which, do you know why 1024 will become Programmers’ Day?

The reason I can think of is that 1024 is the number most commonly encountered by programmers.

1024B=1KB

1024KB=1MB

1024MB=1GB

1024GB=1TB

1024TB=1PB

……

There is such a joke:

A person asked the programmer to borrow 1,000 yuan, and the programmer said, “I will give you the whole amount, which is 1,024 yuan.”

1024 has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

#The following is the origin of 1024 learned through Baidu.

1024 originally originated from a forum. In order to avoid malicious spam, advertising, etc., this forum has set new users to "only post (including replies) once every 1024 seconds." Over time, how many replies you can get from "restricted posting" users has become an indicator of the popularity of the topic post.

In addition, since 1024MB=1GB, the message reply of 1024 gradually became the same term for top posts as "UP" and "like" and spread.

In this way, the group of 1024 and programmers gradually entered the public eye. In order to pay tribute to programmers who are low-key, pragmatic, passionate about programming, and personally change the world through code, 1024 is voluntarily recognized as Programmers' Day by the majority of netizens.

I wish all programmers (yuan) (members) a happy holiday!
