• What are good alternatives to SQL?

  - by Brendan Long

  I occasionally hear things about how SQL sucks and it's not a good language, but I never really hear much about alternatives to it.

According to this only 16 bits of a CRC32 are evenly distributed. So what other transformation would one apply to overcome that? David

• What's the best way to draw a fullscreen quad in OpenGL 3.2?

  - by Phineas

  I'm doing ray casting in the fragment shader. I can think of a couple ways to draw a fullscreen quad for this purpose. Either draw a quad in clip space with the projection matrix set to the identity matrix, or use the geometry shader to turn a point into a triangle strip. The former uses immediate mode, deprecated in OpenGL 3.2. The latter I use out of novelty, but it still uses immediate mode to draw a point.

• Drupal 7: Create a taxonomy term for each node and use the node title as the term name

  - by Spre3

  Is there anyway of doing this by using rules or by some custom code? I did try using rules but I can't find a way of adding a new term and set the name as the node title because the [node:title] token is not avilable. I know this is possible using the NAT module but the way this module changes the taxonomy terms hierarchy if you add a term reference field that uses the same taxonomy vocabulary which ruins the whole purpose of what I am trying to do.
