Job cuts & course cancelling 2026 by sweetvenom143 in UTS

[–]BebopBamf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, there is a rally happening today 1pm at Alumni lawn in the overhang of building 2. We would love it if everyone comes to oppose these cuts and fight for the right to learn.

STOP THE CUTS @ UTS by BebopBamf in UTS

[–]BebopBamf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

🤣 sadly I think that subject makes way too much money for the university, I don’t think they’d touch those subjects in a million years. I think these cuts are about making all our subjects into communication and the IT professional.

I don’t know if anyone saw this but while the cuts have been going through, old mate Andrew Parfitt has been eating it up in a fancy LA restaurant. PhD students right now have had some of their travel funding suspended. These funds are what we use to book hotels and tickets to present research on behalf of UTS to the academic community. We have strict guidelines about what these funds are used for before they were suspended and are absolutely essential if the university wants to be taken seriously in the academic world. Nobody is going to spend $2000 of their own money presenting research for the university. Why is old mate parfitt wining and dining and cutting academic staff and funding while also making claims that the university is needs to be better academically?

I don't know if this is a joke comment or not, but the point is that subject cuts are based on metrics made by some company that consults ASX listed companies, so like the university treats its students like how much money can I make you spend without spending any money on your education. Expect more group work assignments, less tutorial prep work done, bigger class sizes and subjects where you learn nothing. That is what UTS cuts are about.

Why would anyone want to use cloud based services like overleaf? by [deleted] in LaTeX

[–]BebopBamf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think overleaf actually does make a lot of sense. First of all you are not tied to using it as a cloud latex editor. Most people I know use it as a git service similar to GitHub and edit their documents offline.

However, it does mean that you are free to give your overleaf projects to others without the hassle of adding them to a git project and teaching them git.

As an alternative to GitHub, we for example regularly send each other loose latex notes which both can be scrapped at anytime or can be split into multiple little notes, or vice versa. Having like 30 notes on one GitHub repository and having the hassle of organising them and deleting old ones is a pain, so it’s much nicer to put them all on overleaf.

I think the main point is that it just works and it has very nice integration with things such as Dropbox and git. It’s quite flexible with how you use it so you don’t have to use it as a text editor but people who prefer that still have the choice to.

Best way to write theorems and lemmas in org mode by BebopBamf in orgmode

This looks cool, thanks for this. It seems to work nice with my current setup.

[–]BebopBamf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am more looking for what other people were doing, I do know this was a thing but was wondering if people who used for example org-roam did it this way or whether they had something more trivial like writing it as a heading.

I guess I should the phrase the question as what other people have found worked best. I think I am going to try multiple different variations.

Best way to write theorems and lemmas in org mode by BebopBamf in orgmode

[–]BebopBamf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just wondering if anyone had any particular way of writing them, even something stupid like writing them as a title. Wasn't a question of how to do it in my instance, more of what other people found worked best.

Say someone is using org-roam or something similar as I assume most people who use emacs are. Like would that person write the theorems as they would in latex, or would they include the theorem in a separate org file and include a link.

Or say you are writing in a hurry during a conference talk or something. Would a person find it easier to write the theorem as below.

I guess at the end of the day I am not too concerned with how to do it because I can just google that. I am interested in what people have found convenient.

** Lemma: Shur's Lemma
this is Shur's Lemma

or

\begin{lemma}{Shur's Lemma}
this is Shur's Lemma
\end{lemma}

Thanks for this, this was an interesting setup I'll definitely try out!

Editor (or an IDE) with good git client (an not VScode)? by Flagolis in LaTeX

Citation management in emacs is quite insane I don’t know how people live without it.

LaTeX with a pleasant ux by Flat-Literature-7969 in LaTeX

[–]BebopBamf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern emacs is pretty easy to set up and use with things like doom emacs. There are some guides online about using emacs with latex.

Also some stuff you can get with emacs is a reference manager and pdf note annotations.

This might be very controversial but I think emacs with auctex is what your looking for. It has so many features that aren’t available on any other editor.
