Databricks Apps can now query Unity Catalog data as the signed-in user

Databricks made on-behalf-of-user authorization generally available in Databricks Apps, so queries run under the signed-in user's Unity Catalog permissions. Row filters and column masks apply without app code, so the builder's remaining job is choosing which identity each request carries.

A Pass Designer walkthrough still signs per-user Wallet passes on a Mac

Apple's Pass Designer builds and signs .pkpass bundles in the browser, says a dev.to guide that still signs its own loyalty cards on an EC2 Mac. Per-user passes are new payloads, so the private key stays on a macOS host the team runs.

Armin Ronacher's unattended 35-hour GPT-6 Astra run wrote 75,000 lines of unusable code

Armin Ronacher let GPT-6 Astra code alone for 35 hours, spending about $1,200 on a net 75,000 lines of "absolutely nothing of value". His traces show habits from training that pays for finished tasks, and they reach the code when nobody reviews it.

A port file lets the next launch tell a hung instance from a healthy one

A Flask app packaged by PyInstaller kept running after users quit, because os._exit(0) fired from a daemon thread does not reliably kill a frozen build. The cleanup now happens at the next startup.

Debian 13.7 folds 92 already-published advisories into the trixie installer

The point release corrects 106 source packages and rebuilds the installer around a 6.12.107+deb13 kernel, so hosts imaged from older trixie media come up on versions predating all 92 advisories and only catch up on the first update run.

Pi runs the model's shell commands with the permissions of whoever launched it

A seven-part video walkthrough is packaging the Flask creator's Pi workflow for a general audience. The harness itself leaves isolation to the operator, and Earendil's own documentation says so plainly.

Dropping curl, git and vim explains 74 MB of a 385 MB Docker image cut

A dev.to writeup takes a 15-line Flask app from 442 MB to 56.6 MB and publishes its layer sizes. The measured layers cover 74.4 MB of the cut, and the base image swap has to account for the rest.

Webhook post covers HMAC signatures and idempotency keys, but breaks off before replay protection is addressed

A dev.to walkthrough of async proof pipelines gets HMAC over raw bytes and storage-layer idempotency right, and its own SQLite schema shows where a signed but stale completion event still slips through.

WshShell.Run drops the child's exit code unless you call it with parentheses

Reserving the idempotency key before the gateway call is what wins the race

Umair Rafi's Python walkthrough gets the contract right, and the interesting failure is what a duplicate sees while the charge is still in flight, when the replay branch fires before there is anything stored to replay.

Five rewrites later, the LLM is out of the test loop and into the selectors

isinstance(amount, (int, float)) is not a number check: NaN walks through a withdrawal guard
