NHibernate issues INSERT and UPDATE consecutively

Anyone have any idea why NHibernate would do this? Seems rediculuous to me and it's (obviously) crashing my app as it's trying to update primary key column. Here's what it's doing. First, it inserts a record: INSERT INTO WidgetConfigurationPositions (WidgetId, TargetId) VALUES (256 /* @p0 */, 'row...

Git mysteriously deleting all files upon commit

I'm pretty new to Git (and version control in general) and am ashamed to say that this problem has been going on for a while now. Occasionally, after adding changes, git will delete everything from my repository upon the following commit. Afterward I add and commit again, and it creates everything it just deleted. It hasn't caused an...

Unknown chr being output after XSL Compiled Transform

Hi, my code is outputting some weird character at the very start of my XSLT output XML and neither Visual Studio 2008 or notepad show it up. But it's definitely there because VS lets me delete it and will then auto-format the XML properly. How do I stop this? Here's my code: // create the readers for the xml and xsl XmlReader re...

Posted models (via jQuery) come back with all properties set to default

I fetch most of my data as models from my MVC app and just operate on them on the client side. When I'm done with whatever the user is doing I just post back the model/array of models to the server.

python function fails to return unless the last statement is slow

I'm working on a subclass of threading.Thread which allows its methods to be called and run in the thread represented by the object that they are called on as opposed to the usual behavior. I do this by using decorators on the target method that place the call to the method in a collections.deque and using the run method to process the d...

Weird child selector behavior...

Well, I finally decided to totally drop IE6. It's great. First big benefit which comes with this decision is child selectors. So I started to use them for my nested drop-down menus for the first time and expected it to be a breeze.

Configuration System Error and Folder Names

I just grappled with an annoying, extremely persistent bug that had me scratching my head for several hours.

Today, whenever I ran the program from the IDE, it gave me this error: Conf...

MySQL InnoDB auto_increment value increases by 2 instead of 1. Virus?

I also noticed that in another MySQL table which is used for remembering the last few commenter's footprint signatu...

How do I solve this BioPerl-related mystery?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Perl 5.10.1. The BioPerl package has some nice scripts, such as bp_genbank2gff3.pl which converts files from genbank format to GFF3 format. The problem: I get unexpected results when using bp_genbank2gff3.pl: the gene features get "Name=" instead of "locus_tag=" in the last GFF3 column. A dear BioPerl mailing...
