At 20 years, her flagship show, the NosillaCast Podcast is the longest-running Apple-centric podcast. In the NosillaCast, she focuses on reviewing tech products with an EVER so slight Apple bias, while weaving accessibility throughout her content. She also co-hosts the podcast Programming By Stealth where Bart Busschots is teaching the audience to program through an audio podcast (with Bart's tutorial shownotes). Bart and Allison also hosted the podcast Taming the Terminal which is a 40-episode guide to the macOS Terminal which you can also get as an ebook through Apple Books. She has a tech conversation show called Chit Chat Across the Pond which currently comes out at least once a month with Adam Engst of TidBITS as her guest. She's a founding speaker at Macstock Conference every year outside of Chicago, and a frequent guest on the Daily Tech News Show, Clockwise, and the SMR Podcast, with appearances on MacBreak Weekly, Cordkillers, Tech's Message, and The Productive Woman Podcast. She is also a video screencast tutor for the subscription service ScreenCastsONLINE. She and her husband Steve produce video interviews from trade shows such as CES and CSUN's Assistive Tech conference. She's an avid exerciser walking around 7 miles a day and enjoys time with their dog Kepler, and two cats Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper. This is what happens when two engineers marry.

On Chit Chat Across the Pond #814, Adam Engst and I discussed the results of a VPN survey he conducted with the TidBITS subscribers. From there, we got into a discussion where Adam challenged the common wisdom that we need a VPN when we're on public WiFi networks. We got a bit mired in some of the discussion, where we almost had enough knowledge to explain our positions. Networking is a topic on which Bart has a depth of knowledge, and he's here to clarify some of the things we talked about. The recording you're about to hear was created for the Security Bits segment on NosillaCast #1048, but I felt it was important for the Chit Chat Across the Pond audience to hear it as a follow-up to our discussion with Adam.

This episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond is going to be a bit different. On the NosillaCast #1042 for April 27th, Bart Busschots and I recorded his usual segment on Security Bits, but the majority of it was a deep dive. The subject was whether cryptography as we know it is doomed because of quantum computing. His explanation was so good that I wanted to be able to point people directly to the audio instead of referencing the chapter mark or a time stamp so we decided to make it a standalone Chit Chat Across the Pond. If you want to listen to the rest of the original recording of Security Bits, be sure to subscribe to the NosillaCast and look for episode #1042.

Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, I explore the latest advancements in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and autonomous driving. We discuss significant news highlights, including the introduction of a revolutionary battery by CATL, which can add 323 miles of range in just five minutes of charging, alongside their upcoming sodium-ion batteries. I also cover a concerning class-action lawsuit against Tesla regarding alleged odometer manipulation, emphasizing its implications for the brand's reputation. The main focus is on Slate Auto's new electric pickup truck, featuring a modular design for customization and affordability, with a starting price of around $25,000. I discuss its unique features, production timeline for 2026, and the potential impact on the EV market. As I conclude, I encourage listeners to engage with the community and share their own projects, while I remain committed to covering crucial developments in the industry.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteBart Busschots: Bart's BlogLet's Talk PodcastsNosillacast (Security Bits)True North EVs:True North EVs PodcastSources: Tesla Odometer LawsuitCATL's New Battery Tech 1Slate Auto 1Slate Auto 2*Show Art Created By Dall-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

In this tidbit episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots and Helma van der Linden start by reviewing how she took the reins of the XKPasswd project to first convert it from Perl to JavaScript, then to rewrite the web app. After that, she separated the JavaScript library from the web app code. This episode is primarily walking through exactly how she accomplished that split. And now XKPasswd is officially out of beta and available at xkpasswd.net You can find Helma's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net.

Description:In this episode of Kilowatt, I talk with Bart Bouchotts about his journey to find the perfect electric vehicle, leading to his choice of the 2025 Polestar 2. Bart highlights the Polestar's sleek design, driving dynamics, and user-friendly technology, which enhance his driving experience compared to his previous Tesla Model 3. Bart concludes by emphasizing the importance of selecting an EV that truly meets the needs of electric vehicle drivers.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle PlaylistBarts Previous Episodes:Ford Explorer EVVW ID.7BYD SealBart's EV JourneyBYD Atto 3Bart Needs a New CarBarts Links:Bart's Polestar Blog PostBart's WebsiteBartificer CreationsLets Talk (Bart's Apple and Photography Podcasts)Security Bits with Bart Busschots and Allison SheridanSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

Bart Busschots is enamored with the open source shell from Microsoft called PowerShell. His goal was to give us a teaser on this modern shell but there was enough material in his shownotes that we're recording the audio in two halves. Feel free to read ahead in the shownotes if you like, or you can wait till the second installment to read the rest. In this first half, we learn about how Bart begrudgingly started using PowerShell and what made him become such a fan. He walks us through the philosophy and then the structure of commands first. We get to play with a few tiny scripts to illustrate how the "plumbing" works in PowerShell and we learn about how message streams work with data streams.

In this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart talks about his job as a cybersecurity specialist. We get a bit silly in our early part of the chat, the reasons for which will become obvious when you listen to the beginning but he successfully gives a flavor of what "a day in the life" is like for him.

In PBS 172 Bart Busschots explained what Git submodules are and the kinds of problems they solve. In this practical lesson, he walks us through three scenarios where we actually get to type in Git commands to learn how the process works. We get to pretend we're in a small web app business where company branding is important. In the first scenario, we're a new developer joining an app team and we have a repo that already includes the branding submodule. In the second scenario, we're a seasoned developer on the team creating a new app and we need to import the branding submodule. Finally, in the third scenario, we're one of the brand designers and we want to update the branding. In the third scenario we learn two different ways to incorporate the branding changes into our web apps. I'm always happy when I get to play along in the Terminal, so this lesson was great fun.

Description:In this episode, I chat with Allison Sheridan from the Nosillacast podcast about the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. We explore its extensive resources on electric vehicles, laws, incentives, and the significant 35% year over year increase in Level 3 charging stations. Allison highlights the complexities of infrastructure rollouts, as well as the data's potential to empower consumers in comparing EV specifications and incentives. We emphasize the importance of accessible information for both individuals and industry stakeholders, concluding with a discussion of Allison's projects in technology and community resources.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle PlaylistLinks:Allison Sheridan - Podfeet.comBart Busschots - Lets-Talk.ieUS Department of Energy: Alternative Fuels Data CenterSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

In Programming By Stealth, we've completed our series on the jq language and now Bart Busschots brings us a two-part miniseries about the YAML data format. He takes us through the history of data formats we've "enjoyed" such as fixed-width text files, Comma Separated Value files, through to JSON and XML. All of them had their place in history but also had their downsides. YAML promises to be human-readable (yay) and computer-readable (also yay.) Once we're bought into how YAML is the data format of our dreams, Bart explains that there are only two kinds of data, scalar,s and collections, and that collections can be sequences or mapping and all of these data types go into a document. Luckily this is all of the jargon we'll have to learn and there are useful synonyms from other languages (e.g. sequences are really just arrays). I found this lesson enjoyable and not too hard on my little brain so I suspect you'll enjoy it as much as I did. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

It was actually bittersweet for Bart and me this week as he taught the final installment in our series of Programming By Stealth about jq. As Bart says partway through our recording, he thought this would just be a few episodes but it took 13 episodes to go through everything Bart thought was fun about this deceptively simple programming language. This final installment in the jq series covers querying nested data structures with the `recurse` command. One of the really fun parts of the episode is when he teaches us how to dramatically simplify our code, a concept that's often called syntactic sugar. We get to do `if` statements for the first time, where I wondered why he didn't let us have them earlier! I was cross with him for holding out on us with `try-catch` too because it would have made our coding so much easier. But that was the real theme of this installment – we had to learn the way everything works before learning the shortcuts. In the finale, he gives us a few of what he calls "honourable mentions" – little tidbits that came in handy at times. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

In this penultimate jq episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart introduces us to three new ways to process arrays and dictionaries without exploding them first. I know that sounds crazy – we've always exploded our arrays first. He teaches us how to use the `reduce` operator which lets us take an entire array or dictionary and reduce it down to one thing. The `map` function lets us process every element in an array (or or values in a dictionary) and return a new array. Finally, `map_values` lets us apply a function against all of the values in a dictionary (or an array). It was a bitter sweet ending to the primary series on `jq` for Bart, but next time he'll do the epilogue where he'll introduce us to some rarely needed but still very useful things you can do with jq.

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains why jq is uniquely designed not to need variables (most of the time) and then explains how to use them in the few instances when there's no other way. It's really a fairly straightforward lesson as Bart sets up some clear examples and solves them with some simple variables. It's one of my favorite episodes because the problem is clear and the solutions are clear. It really shows off how clean jq is as a language.

In our previous episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots taught us how to create lookup tables with jq from JSON data using the `from_entries` command. Just when we have that conquered, this time he teaches us how to do the exact opposite – disassemble lookup tables. I think this was a really fun lesson because taking data apart, reassembling it the way you want and then putting it back together again is a great way to really understand what we're doing with jq. I got much more comfortable as I started to recognize the patterns in what Bart was doing. We also get to play with a new data set, the Have I Been Pwned data gathered by Troy Hunt. If you're a data nerd, and really who amongst us isn't, you'll love this episode too. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

In this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots as usual works through his solution to the challenge from last time, and as usual I learn a lot more about how to use jq to solve problems. He takes a bit of a detour to explain a fun email we got from Jill of Kent in which she explained the vast number of headaches you'll run into when trying to alphabetize names no matter the language. Then we buckle down and learn about how to make tradeoffs between speed and efficiency of resources, and how jq lookups can help us. Bart also helps us understand _when_ lookups can help us with querying JSON files. This episode is more of a lecture, which is fine because he's introducing a new concept and explaining some philosophy. You won't hear me breaking into the conversation very much but it's only because I'm not confused! Don't worry, when we get into the final example you'll hear me get confused! Bart explains it about 3 or 4 times and when you hear why your co-host here was confused, it's kind of ironic. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

Bart Busschots is back to teach us how to alter arrays and dictionaries in JSON files using jq. Bart went through his challenge solution on cleaning up the Nobel Prize database and I learned a lot from it. Maybe he'd already taught all of it to us before but I sure wouldn't have been able to put the pieces together. For the new content, we learned how to alter arrays. We mastered sorting and reversing, how to add and remove elements, how to deduplicate the values within, and how to flatten even nested arrays. From there we learned how to manipulate dictionaries by adding and removing keys. It's a very focused lesson that continues to show how powerful the jq language is. I think my favorite part though was when Bart made an existential philosophy observation when he said "Everything exists with the value of null." You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.
