10-Bit H.264

For all those who haven’t heard of it already, here’s a quick rundown about the
newest trend in making our encodes unplayable on even more systems: So-called
high-bit-depth H.264. So, why another format, and what makes this stuff
different from what you know already?

First off: What is bit depth?
In short, bit depth is the level of precision that’s available for storing color
information. The encodes you’re used to have a precision of 8 bits (256 levels)

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of advantages of using submodules:

• You can separate the code into different repositories.

Check git repo size : git count-objects -v

First checkout to the commit, which you want to make as the initial commit. Then run the following commands :

git checkout --orphan temp_branch
git add -A
git commit -am "Initial commit message"
git branch -D main
git branch -m main

Using Vite with Django, the simple way

This gist has most of the things I've used to develop the frontend using vite inside a monolithic django app.

A couple of things to note:

• it runs in SPA mode by default. If you want SSR, you may want to look into django_vite;
• static files unrelated to your app, like images or fonts, should be served by django, instead of imported directly inside your frontend app;
• you'll need to enable manifest in your vite configs for production;
• I've only tested this with a React app, but I'll share my notes when testing with a Svelte app later.
