Re: Constants you cannot help but remember

in reply to Constants you cannot help but remember

My post-high school education is mostly in networking, so I remember things like these:

• Various TCP/UDP ports (22/ssh, 80/HTTP, etc.)
• Some RFCs (822 for message formats, etc.)
• 1500 bytes (MTU of Ethernet)

Most of the programming-related constants I know have already been covered, but here are few more:

• 6 bits to a byte in Knuth's MIX machine
• 54 is the limit of multi-dimentional arrays in VB (not that I want to know this . . . )
