Happy Programmer's Day!

Today, everyone immersed in the world of programming and digital technologies celebrates this professional holiday! This day is special also because it falls on the 256th day of the year. Do you know why?

The fact is that 256 is the maximum number of unique characters that can be encoded by a single byte of memory. That's how many combinations can be created using eight bits, since 2⁸=256. This remarkable coincidence was noted by enthusiasts, and the idea of celebrating Programmer's Day was supported by the Russian government in 2009.

Happy holiday, colleagues! We wish you inspiration for all your projects and always working code!
