8 I would not use any 3D libraries or packages for this. You can just draw circles, ellipses or arcs and lines as these two drawings are relatively simple.

Beamer, add stretch to lists 19

16 Beamer columns are basically just minipages with some `\hfill` between them to distribute them across the page (and a couple of extra features like making them overlay aware etc.). So I would not say "don't use minipages with beamer" but rather that is normally easier to use columns instead of minipages.

samcarter

7 This is not really an answer to the question, because it won't solve the problem with lists in columns, but I just saw an interesting idea how to make normal lists stretchy in beamer (inspired by https://github.com/josephwright/beamer/pull/696):

3 One can use the `theorem begin` and `theorem end` templates to smuggle in a thm symbol, which can then be adjusted for each environment:

I think the jet was just a bit early for TUG'25 and is now waiting for the conference to start: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8gj2nlnywo

निरंजन replying to samcarter

It was working, but I was not checking emails.

निरंजन replying to samcarter

:)

samcarter replying to निरंजन

No hurry, I was just not sure if the github ping worked, so I thought I would ping you here.

samcarter replying to निरंजन

Welcome back! I hope you had nice holidays!

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

Of course!

निरंजन replying to CarLaTeX

Oh of course we played it in schools, but using LaTeX for that was fun!

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

We played that game at school, too :D

निरंजन

I will respond there

निरंजन replying to samcarter

I just saw all the emails. I was on a vacation

निरंजन replying to samcarter

Yayy

निरंजन replying to Skillmon

:(

निरंजन replying to samcarter

Great news!

निरंजन replying to CarLaTeX

Back in my MA days, there was a conference. Me and one of my colleagues were bored. I had written a custom code for this and we were playing this game all the time. It's so much fun in LaTeX. Glad that there is a package for killing time during boring lectures... :P

Have you seen https://github.com/latex3/latex3.github.io/issues/27 ?

samcarter replying to barbara beeton

I'm looking forward to see you in chat during the conference to complain about either staying up too late or, in my case, getting up too early :)

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

I did *try* to base my calculation on the difference shown and the time shown in the schedule, but maybe I had better try again.  You're quite right that 23:30 is a better time for a midnight snack.

samcarter replying to barbara beeton

Oh, sorry! It sounded as if you calculated the times yourself. 23:30 sounds like a late dinner time :)

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

Yup. That's what I used to make my calculation.  Very helpful feature!

samcarter replying to barbara beeton

You can choose the time zone at the top, then times will be shown in your zone:

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

That's surely an interesting keynote, especially given the hard work now coming to fruition on making MathML accessible.  If my calculations are correct, it will be online here at dinnertime.

So many bugs in a single font! https://velvetyne.fr/fonts/ouvrieres/

samcarter replying to Skillmon

I actually only disabled them on specific sites like discord. On other sites I find them useful, e.g. showing beamer animations in answers

Skillmon replying to samcarter

now I wonder what your internet looks like compared to mine with all GIFs blocked (which I don't)

samcarter replying to Skillmon

yes, but one does not miss much if one also blocks static gifs. Blocking all pngs might be a bit annoying.

samcarter replying to Skillmon

They seem to use `.png`

Skillmon

Well, tbf GIF is not necessarily animated as well

Skillmon replying to samcarter

they don't call them .apng? (I was at least hoping as much)

samcarter replying to Skillmon

... and it won't be as easy to block if one wants to still see normals pngs. I think they should have used a different file type instead.

Skillmon replying to samcarter

noo, not yet another format for animated images!!!
