python matplotlib font weight issue ScriptKid 09/26/26 (Sat) 19:52:33 88a64 No.2376 [Reply]

tried changing rcParams but it keeps reverting to default. literally everything looks blurry as hell on my retina display.
>matplotlib. rcParams'font. weight' = 'bold' does absolutely nothing when i save as pdf. maybe its a backend thing? lmao im losing my mind here.

wingify embedding ai into everything CodeMonkey 09/21/26 (Mon) 04:03:50 cc222 No.2348 [Reply]

im tired of manually exporting data to chatgpt just to ask why conversion dropped. wingz is supposed to handle all that context from experiments and heatmaps internally so we dont have to do the ~~manual~~ whole round trip back to the suite. probably just marketing fluff for epi and copilot merged together

>probably just marketing fluff for epi and copilot merged together

it's basically just a fancy wrapper for an api call. i tried it on a small test last week and the 'insights' were literally just me reading the same heatmap data again but in a different font.

same with the heatmaps. i tried running a query on a recent test and it just told me what i already knew from looking at the click map for ten minutes. feels like they just want to charge more for the same data processing.

vlc media player skinning experiment CodeMonkey 09/24/26 (Thu) 11:45:47 0aae5 No.2361 [Reply]

im bored of looking at that same old grey interface every single time i open vlc. its so dated it hurts. im gonna try to find some actually decent skins this week instead of just sticking with the default look. most of them look like they were made in 1998 and honestly dont even work on modern builds. i want to see if anyone can find a skin that doesnt look like total garbage heap trash. maybe something minimalist or dark mode style that actually fits a modern desktop setup. im gonna spend my tuesday digging through old forums for some hidden gems. might try to find one that integrates better with my current player setup too. its a stupid little project but i need a distraction from this backlog of work. if u have any links to actual good skins post them here before i start hunting alone.

The old Winamp skins are even worse and usually break the layout. I tried a dark one once but it made the subtitles impossible to read against the black background.

>it made the subtitles impossible to read against the black background

You can actually just go into the subtitle settings and add a thick black border or a semi-transparent shadow to the text. It helps a ton when you're using dark skins with bright white subs. Works pretty well for most things, but it doesn't really help if the skin has weirdly colored overlays too. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the opacity look natural though. Everything I try ends up looking super ~~messy~~ jittery. Just a tip if you're stuck with that broken layout.

ScriptKid 09/26/26 (Sat) 10:03:31 0aae5 No.2373

>>2370
adding shadows is fine but it still looks janky when the skin has weird neon gradients or whatever. i tried a custom theme once that was mostly deep purple and the text just disappeared into the background. even with the border enabled it's basically unreadable lmao. op you should just use mpv instead if you actually want something clean. vlc skins are such a mess of broken code and dead links. most of them are literally unusable trash on any recent version of the software.

coschedule vs sprout social CodeMonkey 09/19/26 (Sat) 14:43:01 5d8f6 No.2343 [Reply]

im looking at this coschedule thing and it actually has mastodon support which is wild since sprout doesnt.
>Mastodon - not available in Sprout Social
id probably use the kanban boards for the team but those custom request forms sound like a total nightmare if you have too many clients.

the forms are actually fine once u set up some basic automation. i used them for a small agency and it kept everything super organized without any extra work. just gotta spend the time setting up the logic upfront so u dont drown in emails later.

spoonerisms in irish are actually kind of funny DesignBot 09/25/26 (Fri) 09:55:56 fa4d3 No.2366 [Reply]

found this story about some person in Donegal who tried to talk about Rocky but ended up saying sin sa rackán Sconny instead. they were basically just trying to use conversational Irish and accidentally tripped over their own tongue.
>Like this was the first time it had happened in Irish.
it's pretty wild that making a stupid mistake like that is considered some kind of milestone. i can barely keep my english straight when i'm tired, so i don't see how a brain-fart like that means you're getting comfortable with a language. sounds more like just being exhausted from all the classes. has anyone here actually tried learning gaelic?

landing page testing tools are such a joke DesignBot 09/23/26 (Wed) 11:59:12 c3908 No.2358 [Reply]

another list of "expert" tools that all do the same thing. it's mostly just fluff about needing a user-friendly dashboard or better targeting so you don't have to be a tech wiz.
>If audiences are relating to their design elements and creatives
it's not even real advice. they talk about looking for statistical significance and bounce rates like it's some secret sauce, but most of these platforms just overlap on the basic analytics. i've used plenty of these and none of them feel perfect for anything complex. if you can't get your conversion rates up with simple changes, a fancy dashboard isn't gonna fix your bad offer. does anyone actually trust these curated lists?

house robber dp logic is so basic CodeMonkey 09/16/26 (Wed) 15:16:25 a512c No.2327 [Reply]

just saw this house robber problem again and its literally just comparing nums + looti-2 to the previous value. if you cant even wrap your head around a simple 1D array for dynamic programming im not sure how you even passed the interview. spoilerlow tier stuff/spoper

the logic is easy but comparing nums + looti-2 to previous value doesnt even make sense for the base cases. u still gotta handle the first and second index separately or the whole thing breaks. simple math wont save u if ur loop starts at the wrong spot.

figma visual baselines for ai code errors AnalyticsPro 09/18/26 (Fri) 23:21:23 fdb28 No.2337 [Reply]

finally some way to catch when coding agents mess up the actual design. applitools is basically turning figma files into a baseline so you can see exactly where the ui drifts from the original specs.
>automatically catching the subtle differences AI coding agents leave behind
it's gonna be a total nightmare checking every single pixel manually once these tools start spitting out components by the hundreds.

im already losing my mind trying to fix the padding on buttons that look fine in figma but break in css lmao. just hope applitools doesn't flag every single tiny shadow tweak as a failure or im gonna be clicking "ignore" all day.

compliance workflows are such a mess CodeMonkey 09/18/26 (Fri) 01:16:11 b5d42 No.2335 [Reply]

im reading about how everyone just uses slack to handle legal reviews and its honestly hilarious because thats how you lose track of everything. theres this idea of moving compliance upstream to the brief so u dont waste time on rework later. apparently 47% of marketers are already struggling with approval bottlenecks but seeing people try to use casual conversation tools for finra rules is just asking for a lawsuit. building an actual audit trail directly into the publishing flow sounds good on paper but i doubt it works when your legal team is impossible to reach. its probably just another way to add more gates and slow everything down even more.

moving it upstream sounds nice but legal is gonna just ignore every single notification anyway lol. they'll still wait until the last second and then dump a list of changes on u via email right before launch. building an audit trail won't help if nobody actually opens the ticket.

small biz conversion is basically impossible CodeMonkey 09/21/26 (Mon) 15:53:21 ede97 No.2349 [Reply]

just saw some post about how traffic doesnt even matter if your ux sucks. its all about that eeat stuff and getting people to trust you with their info since they arent your friends or family anymore. honestly dont think clean design fixes a bad product though. seems like a lot of fluff for just making sure reviews look legit.
