Hi everyone! I suspect most of us here are headed for hotter days with summer starting shortly in the northern hemisphere. With climate change in full swing and El Niño expected to happen this year, I suspect it will be a very hot one. Now I love coding and programming, obviously, but the obligatory hoody and sunglasses - which we all weat while coding, of course - can make for an uncomfortable coding experience in the heat. How do you all cope? Do you combine the obligatory hoody with shorts, or maybe airconditioning? All tips are welcome!
The sunglasses can obviously stay on. For the heat, opt for a sun hoodie which is fit for purpose

Heat pipes and fans.
Does make a hell of a mess getting the thermal paste of my back and chest.
It’s like if Mr Motivator had a baby with a cargo net.

Easy: I live in the southern hemisphere. Excited that it’s winter today, just got through our first major storm of the season
Best Hemisphere.

I’d wear one of these
Polyester?! Do you prefer sweating - instead of letting your skin breath?
Anti slip ring for stability while activities
Ooh fancy
Luckily I have a ThinkPad, I just run the following program and hold the fan vents against my face:
int main(void) { while (1); }gcc -O3:Not on my watch!

Stay indoors, and don’t forget to loudly exclaim “I’m in!” every few minutes
HaCk ThE pLaNeT!
Pleeeease! God dammit… hate this hacker crap.
Ah ah ah, didn’t say the magic word! Ah ah ah, didn’t say the magic word! Ah ah ah, didn’t say the magic word!

Skirt and programming socks. The skirt provides optimal airflow and the socks can be adjusted using a PID algorithm to achieve the desired thermal equilibrium.
Good call. I’ll flash arch to a USB stick while I’m at it
If working at home, naked with just socks is allowed.
You know you can wear shorts
whenever you want while programming right?I hack at night, when it’s cooler. You can’t see the digital rain otherwise.
Beach hoodie. They’re light and block UV
Furry equipment FTW

NightHawk has a video on how to make cooling packs that keep their temperature around 18ºC (64ºF) for something like 2 hours. He gives the ingredients around the 6 minute mark. It’s a mixture of Sodium Sulfate with common table salt:
- 5 cups water (1.2 liters)
- 1 cup sodium sulfate (240ml)
- 1/4 cup salt (60ml)
- 4 tablespoons of xanthan gum (20ml) - this is a thickening agent so that the thing becomes gelatin-like, which makes it easier to work with
- Mix in heated water for some minutes. The mixture should not fully dissolve, there should be some of it visible. If the sulfate fully dissolves, add more. If there seems to be too much of the mixture, add bits of water.
