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!
Obelix pants? Really?
Nice reference.
It’s like if Mr Motivator had a baby with a cargo net.
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
Heat pipes and fans.
Does make a hell of a mess getting the thermal paste of my back and chest.
You go work in the server room
crop top and skirt, or linen pants and crop top / linen shirt
We suffer for our fashion and our art.
I hack at night, when it’s cooler. You can’t see the digital rain otherwise.
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

Work from home and wear shorts only and drink tons of water.
Moved to New Zealand.
Beach hoodie. They’re light and block UV
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.
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.
