How do you deal with the obligatory hoody and sunglasses in this warm weather?

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!

Stay indoors, and don’t forget to loudly exclaim “I’m in!” every few minutes

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

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.

x74sys@programming.dev · 18 pts · 85d (4 replies)

Luckily I have a ThinkPad, I just run the following program and hold the fan vents against my face:

int main(void) {
  while (1);
}

Try to optimize this away, sucker:

echo "level full-speed" | sudo tee /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

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.

If working at home, naked with just socks is allowed.

You know you can wear shorts
whenever you want while programming right?

Jayjader@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 83d

The cargo shorts stay ON during sex coding

Oh! You mean outside.

Yeah, we don't do that here.

Anti slip ring for stability while activities

Ooh fancy

Quexotic@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 84d

I don't use it, but it keeps the sleeves from riding up, theoretically.

nimisnimi@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 85d (1 reply)

Polyester?! Do you prefer sweating - instead of letting your skin breath?

Quexotic@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 84d

It wicks well for me.

marlowe221@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 85d

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.

sleeveless hoodie. like John Schneider. peak performance.

VibeSurgeon@piefed.social · 3 pts · 85d

The sunglasses can obviously stay on. For the heat, opt for a sun hoodie which is fit for purpose

Work from home and wear shorts only and drink tons of water.

Crank the AC up and play games set in the snow.

doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 84d

crop top and skirt, or linen pants and crop top / linen shirt

pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 85d

I still rep the same fit. I've even run in the summer hear in my programming hoodie, you train your mind, body, and soul.

Alternatively, maybe check out sun hoodies. I've been interested in using them for hiking
