When I tried it, the first thing I noticed what that it put quotes around everything, and that long strings with line breaks got messy, so I did a quick adaptation to suit my immediate needs and came up with this:

function dump(arr,level) {
  function magicquotes(value) { return (isNaN(value)) ? '"' + value.replace(/\n/g,"\n"+indent) + '"' : value; }
  level = level | 0;
  var indent = new Array(level+1).join("\t"), dumped_text = "";

  if(typeof(arr) == 'object') { //Array/Hashes/Objects
    for(var item in arr) {
      var value = arr[item];

      if(typeof(value) == 'object')
          dumped_text += indent + "'" + item + "' :\n" + dump(value,level+1);
      else
          dumped_text += indent + "'" + item + "' => " + magicquotes(value) + "\n";
    }
  } else { //Stings/Chars/Numbers etc.
    dumped_text = "===>"+arr+"<===("+typeof(arr)+")";
  }
  return dumped_text;
}

I also found links to many other print_r(), var_dump() equivalents, but they either depended on write, were overly complicated, or returned a lot of excess text I wasn’t interested in.

So why not just call it print_r ? Well, the original I copied was called dump, and I’ve always been annoyed typing that underscore, so I just didn’t change it.

Update: found another alternative. It’s really long and puts out a lot of extraneous information, but it’s worth looking at: wiki.greasespot.net/Code_snippets#Dump_the_properties_of_an_object

Hardware

For the test, I used these codecs:

• None
• Animation (100%)
• PNG
• Apple Intermediate Codec
• MJPEG-a
• MJPEG-b
• HDV
• DVCPRO HD
• Prores
• Prores (hq)
• 4:2:2 8-bit
• 4:2:2 10-bit

Results

So I noticed that None, Animation, PNG, Apple Intermediate Codec, and MJPEG went through a colorspace conversion. So I won’t be using them again.

HDV and DVCPRO HD were slightly fuzzier than the original, but also smaller than the remaining formats. DVCPRO HD also underwent a slight tonal change in image quality. DVCPRO HD also has poor cross-platform support, and both of these formats have restrictions on their frame size.

Prores lived up to its name, and was as fast to compress as the 4:2:2 “uncompressed” formats, while also yielding files over 75% smaller, with little perceptual quality loss. They also had the benefit of not causing FCP to re-render the timeline.

Conclusion

I’ll have to re-run this test with a simple filter applied to the image. I’ll probably add 8 pixels of black to the bottom or something. I think that 4:2:2 10-bit won the fps race because Final Cut Pro just copied the data instead of having to recompress as it did with all the other formats. I also haven’t figured out why Prores HQ was faster than Prores.

1. d = minimum density of pens
2. p = density of people
3. v = average velocity of user
4. t = mean time between pen usage
5. f = time it takes for user to get frustrated
6. k = konstant

d = p • k • v² / f / t

For me, I think that d is around 0.25 pens/m² in my standard environment.

Now to calculate how the probability density function relates to the pen density function and write it up in a portable document format.

So far, all I’ve done is put some neoprene washers to isolate the vibrations of the PSU fan and replaced the 80×80x15 with a 92×92x25 fan. I mounted the new fan on the outside of the unit. It makes it uglier, but so far it’s been much quieter. I’ll make guides on how to crack open the housing and what I did later. (Hint: you’ll need a T10 security bit)

The only thing wrong now is that the rpm sensor for the case fan isn’t working, so the unit kept beeping incessantly. I gotta find out if I messed up my fan’s rpm sensor or what. Luckily the web admin interface lets you disable the beeping.

I haven’t expanded the grill for the 92mm fan from the 80mm fan yet. After I do that, I can disable the PSU fan and duct it into the case fan. With the new fan on its lowest speed, the case is 39 deg C. With the fan on its highest speed (it’s still quieter than the old fan) it goes down to 35 deg C.
