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!
Weather?
Oh! You mean outside.
Yeah, we don’t do that here.
Stay indoors, and don’t forget to loudly exclaim “I’m in!” every few minutes
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!
HaCk ThE pLaNeT!
It’s like if Mr Motivator had a baby with a cargo net.
Obelix pants? Really?
Nice reference.
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
When you’re wearing a skirt, you’re always flashing the USB stick
Das what panties are for. And leggings
I hack at night, when it’s cooler. You can’t see the digital rain otherwise.
Heat pipes and fans.
Does make a hell of a mess getting the thermal paste of my back and chest.
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!
Try to optimize this away, sucker:
echo "level full-speed" | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fanFine, enjoy your
fan, space heater!Unless

Beach hoodie. They’re light and block UV
If working at home, naked with just socks is allowed.
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.
You know you can wear shorts
whenever you want while programming right?The cargo shorts stay ON during
sexcoding
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.

I’d wear one of these
Anti slip ring for stability while activities
Ooh fancy
I don’t use it, but it keeps the sleeves from riding up, theoretically.
Polyester?! Do you prefer sweating - instead of letting your skin breath?
It wicks well for me.
Well, I do wear a lot of hoodies…. But that’s more because I live in the PNW than the fact that I’m a programmer.
I also have the sleeves pushed up to my elbows most of the time. Only wear sunglasses when I’m driving and the sun is in my face.
