Sync Tweets to a Telegram Channel Using Account Activity API Yet another post that has something to do with Telegram. Yeah, I know, but there’s never such thing as too much when you talk about blog articles. A lot of people around my Telegram circle has been maintaining their own channels, and a lot of them has had a few hundreds or even thousands of subscribers. I think that I may make one too, but I also don’t want to give up with my Twitter account which is more accessible to search engines. So why not sync my tweets to the channel? Given the openness of both Telegram and Twitter, this shouldn’t be much of an issue. Continue reading Sync Tweets to a Telegram Channel Using Account Activity API
NLP を使わず簡単に中国語と日本語を仕分ける方法 このブログの他の記事と同じ、この記事も自分のオープンソースプロジェクトを作るときに発見したものである。音楽ライブラリーのタイトル、歌詞などのデータに読みがなをつけたいときに、中国語と日本語のテキストを区別する方法が欲しかった。ボクの音楽ライブラリーに中国語、日本語とアルファベット系の言語しかなかった。アルファベット系の言語は大した処理をいらす、簡単にソートすることができるだが、中国語と日本語はそんなに簡単ではなかった、特に漢字に対する処理の仕方が違う。 Continue reading NLP を使わず簡単に中国語と日本語を仕分ける方法
一种简单粗暴无需 NLP 的区分中文和日文文本的方法 和博客里其他大多数的文章一样，这篇文章也是来自我平时开发个人项目时候的发现。在处理我的音乐库、歌词和其他数据的标音时，我需要一种简单的方式来区分中文文本和日文文本。因为我的曲库里面基本上只有中文、日文和其他拉丁字母构成的语种。而那些拉丁语种不需要太多复杂的处理就能够直接自然的排序，而中文和日文就没有这么简单，尤其是两种语言在对汉字的处理上有着截然不同的方法的时候。 Continue reading 一种简单粗暴无需 NLP 的区分中文和日文文本的方法
Read and Write Tags of Music Files with FFmpeg In both my previous and recent projects, I have been working with tags (metadata) of music files. One of the reason being I am rather particular about having a nicely organised library with all tag data aligned to the same format. Until recently while I was seeking for a solution to read and write tags of (potentially) all music formats2I only have MP3, FLAC, AIFF and M4A in my library, so that’s kinda all for me., and I encountered FFmpeg, the Swiss Army Knife of media processing. FFmpeg has always been my go-to solution for processing media programmatically or in batch, and I have recently found the way to write into the tags of music files using it. The way of doing so might be a little verbose as everything have to fit into the command line interface with other components. Continue reading Read and Write Tags of Music Files with FFmpeg
Translate Text in Sphinx Templates and Configurations Weeks ago when I was playing around with the docs of EFB and the Crowdin translation widget, I realized that the default theme for Sphinx — Alabaster isn’t really doing well in term of translation. It seems like the author isn’t really confident on that (or simply didn’t care since 4 years ago). As the theme itself is open source, and Sphinx is flexible enough, couldn’t we just translate it ourselves? It turns out that things are not that complicated.

How to Write Integration Tests for a Telegram Bot This is my 6th article on Telegram, the IM platform of my preference. In this article I’m going to introduce about how I wrote the integration tests for my EFB Telegram Master channel — a Telegram interface for EFB, using a userbot-like strategy. To get started, you need to have a bot ready to be tested, and a Telegram client app key that is registered with your account. While alternative tools are available, we will be using Telethon and PyTest in this article. Continue reading How to Write Integration Tests for a Telegram Bot
