Comment on Programmers' Day

Comments

"...the color white was chosen because it represents a hex number with the largest value in a 24-bit red green blue (RGB) color space: 0xFFFFFF, so programmers worldwide wear white in celebration."

Only Programmers would have a holiday in which we wear white after labor day to celebrate.

Just remember to take a spare shirt, for after you spill your breakfast burrito on the first one.

Being the 256th day, why wouldn't they choose the color 0x000100? Green's my favorite color.

Russian Labor Day is May 1.
