What's the date of September 13, 2023?

September 13, 2023 is the programmer's day in Russia.

Programmer's Day, also known as "Spillover Festival", is an official festival in Russia, and the date is the 256th day of each year, namely September 13 in normal years and September 12 in leap years. Selecting the 256th day means that one byte (8 bits) overflows (starting from 0 and the maximum is 255). Therefore, September 2023 13 is the national programmer's day.

Of course, from the perspective of China's traditional culture, it can be seen from the query of the old almanac that September 13 in Gregorian calendar is a day of imprisonment, which belongs to the underworld, so this day is not a good day. If you want to do something big (get married, start a business, move, etc.). ), you'd better avoid this day and choose another auspicious day.

The origin of programmer's day

The creation of "Programmer's Day" was originally put forward by dmitri mendeleev Ke, editor-in-chief of Russian Computerworld Press, on July 1996. At that time, it was planned to name the festival "Computer User Day" and the first Friday in September every year as "Pure Friday" (according to one party, the festival was named to stimulate those computers.

When it comes to the origin of Programmer's Day, it is due to Lundin Bart, an employee who works in a parallel technology website design company. In 2002, he collected signatures and petitioned the Russian Federation government to designate this day as Programmer's Day. On July 24, 2009, the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation put forward a new festival arrangement plan and established a programmer's festival.

On September 1 1, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed the bill, which became a legal holiday in Russia. This action won 9800 votes in five days.
