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

I hack at night, when it's cooler. You can't see the digital rain otherwise.
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
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/fan
Easy: I live in the southern hemisphere. Excited that it's winter today, just got through our first major storm of the season
You know you can wear shorts
whenever you want while programming right?

I'd wear one of these
Anti slip ring for stability while activities
Ooh fancy
Polyester?! Do you prefer sweating - instead of letting your skin breath?
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.
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.
The sunglasses can obviously stay on. For the heat, opt for a sun hoodie which is fit for purpose
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

Hmm, sounds like it's time for the programming djellabah !
