Guy Steele argues that when you don’t know whether to expect a 4:3 or a 16:9 projector, you should use 20:13 as the aspect ratio.



But beamer supports only a fixed set of aspect ratios via the aspectratio= options, and 20:13 is not one of them.



How can I still produce beamer slides with a 20:13 aspect ratio?

Adding



makeatletter
 setlengthbeamer@paperwidth20.00cm%
 setlengthbeamer@paperheight13.00cm%
 geometrypapersize=beamer@paperwidth,beamer@paperheight
makeatother


should do the job, though it might be necessary to tweak the overall scale here.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
