CCATP #690 – Bart Busschots on PBS 119 of X — Open Source on GitHub
June 27, 2021 22:56 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBAs promised, Bart takes us through the final step in our GitHub journey - learning how to contribute to an open source project. He explains three open source scenarios: using someone's code exactly as-is, using their code with a few customizations of your own, and finally the most interesting scenario, customizing the code and contributing your customizations back to the project. When he gets to the final scenario, he gives us a way to practice these newly-acquired skills, and it's somethi...
CCATP #689 – Bodie Grimm with Allison and Steve on Tesla Fiddly Bits
June 20, 2021 18:07 - 1 hour - 37.6 MBThis week we have a very different episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite. On the awesome Kilowatt podcast (a show all about electric vehicles), host Bodie Grimm asked me and my husband Steve to be his guests on the show. You really shouldn't be listening to it here, you should go subscribe to the Kilowatt podcast instead and listen to it there, but he _insisted_ that we should share the love and he let me broadcast it for you here as well. The Kilowatt Podcast is _not_ just about Tes...
CCATP #688 – Bart Busschots on PBS 118 of X — JavaScript Apps with GitHub Pages
June 12, 2021 19:23 - 1 hour - 30.3 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us how to use a free service of GitHub called GitHub Pages. This service literally gives you free web hosting for the web apps we've learned to make in Programming By Stealth. Bart starts by explaining to us the difference between static and dynamic webpages, and web pages created by static site generators like Jekyll which generates GitHub Pages. It's trivially easy to create a GitHub Page from an open GitHub repo (l...
CCATP #687 – Mikah Sargent on What Thread Means for the Internet of Things
May 31, 2021 22:20 - 46 minutes - 21.3 MBIn this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Mikah Sargent joins us to explain why he's so excited about what the new technology called Thread is going to bring to the Internet of Things, or IoT. You may know Mikah from the awesome show Clockwise with Dan Moren, or perhaps iOS Today with Rosemary Orchard or Smart Tech Today with Matthew Cassinelli on the TWiT network. Mikah starts with the problem to be solved – slow Bluetooth devices vs. heavy WiFi devices and troublesome network...
CCATP #686 – Bart Busschots on PBS #117 of X – Introducing GitHub
May 30, 2021 00:33 - 1 hour - 30.1 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use GitHub as a public repository for our code, or for anything we write for that matter. He reviews whey he chose Github, and then we dig right in. He does explain the benefits of using SSH to access Github instead of HTTPS, and if you haven't set up SSH keys before or you're rusty on the topic, he includes links to our sibling show, Taming the Terminal where you can learn how to do it. We create a new repo from ...
CCATP #685 – Bart Busschots on PBS 116 0f X – Team Git
May 16, 2021 00:29 - 56 minutes - 25.8 MBIn previous installments of our Git miniseries within a series in Programming By Stealth, Bart taught us how to work in Git standalone on one computer, then how to work as one developer with multiple computers. In those installments he taught us the necessary commands and their importance in the Git scheme of things. In this installment he talks about how and where to work with a team in Git. We learn about the plethora of options from free to full enterprise-size Git-as-a-service, and why ...
CCATP #684 – Bart Busschots on PBS #115 of X – The Push & Pull of Git
May 02, 2021 01:24 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MBWhen Bart started this mini-series within a series on using Git for version control, he explained that our journey would be in three Phases. Phase 1 was the section where we learned about local repositories, and Phase two was dedicated to learning how to have multiple repositories just for ourselves. In this lesson, we finish up Phase 2 by learning how to push and pull changes from our imaginary desktop to our imaginary NAS to our imaginary laptop and back. I slowed down the class a few tim...

CCATP #682 – Doc Rock on Apple Spring Loaded Event
April 22, 2021 01:46 - 55 minutes - 50.7 MBThis week's guest is Doc Rock to talk about the Apple Spring Loaded Event. Doc's background in all things Apple as well as high end live video makes him the perfect person to talk about this event. He explains to me how this color calibration of our TVs using our iPhones and an Apple TV will work, we talk about whether the cool colors of the iMacs might be a distraction to photographers, how the coolest thing that got nearly zero air time was having Ethernet over a MagSafe connector, how ...
CCATP #681 – Bart Busschots on PBS 114 – Tracking Git Branches
April 18, 2021 01:15 - 1 hour - 29 MBWe continue on our journey to learn how to use Git to do version control as a single person, but this time with multiple devices. As Bart says during this episode, "Who is learning to program here who doesn't have multiple computers?" We've learned how to push our changes to a single separate repo, but we had to always say what branch we wanted to push to what branch on the origin. In this installment we learn how to tell Git to _track_ our branches so they stay in sync without us having to...
CCATP #680 – Gregg Vanderheiden on 50 Years in Accessibility
April 06, 2021 23:48 - 59 minutes - 27.3 MBThis week our guest is Gregg Vanderheiden, Professor and Director Trace R&D Center at the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland.

CCATP #679 – Bart Busschots on PBS 113 of X My First Git Remote
April 04, 2021 01:24 - 49 minutes - 22.9 MBLast time on Programming By Stealth, Bart introduced the concept of remote repositories, also known as remotes. It was one of those episodes where we learned a lot but didn't get to apply what we learned. In this week's installment we get our hands digitally dirty as we create a _bare repository_ (a repo with no working tree), and declare it to be a backup of our local repo. We learn how to fetch and view remote branches and tags, how to push everything to the remote, and then after making ...
CCATP #678 – Matt Campbell on Accessibility Overlays & Cloudflare Remote Browser Isolation
March 30, 2021 01:36 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBMatt Campbell is a blind software developer who has specialized in making computers more accessible to blind people for over 20 years.

CCATP #677 – Bart Busschots on PBS 112 of X – Introducing Git Remotes
March 21, 2021 01:47 - 1 hour - 32 MBIn this next installment in our mini-series on learning Git, Bart Busschots gives us some foundational knowledge on how to work beyond being one person with one Git repository. He starts by reinforcing what he's explained before, that Git is a peer-to-peer technology, which is hard to wrap your head around if you're used to client-server relationships. He walks us through three scenarios to explain how every "actor" gets a repository and why. Then he explains the jargon of "local" vs "re...
CCATP #676 – Jill McKinley on Windows to Mac Conversion
March 21, 2021 01:12 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MBThis week our guest is Jill McKinley, aka Jill from the North Woods. I’ve been using a Mac since 1984, and other than a 3-year stint using Windows Vista at work, I’ve been heads down in the Mac operating system all that time. Jill has recently bought her first Mac, which as is usually the case turned into a second Mac purchase. She is still straddling both operating systems and honestly not using macOS too much yet. I thought it would be fun to have her come on and chat about what it’s bee...
CCATP #675 – Working from Home Part 2 – Allister Jenks & Lindsay Tondee
March 14, 2021 00:57 - 57 minutes - 26.1 MBIn the last Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite, Lindsay Tondee made her debut appearance where we talked about working from home. After the show published, Allister Jenks wrote to me and told me that halfway through listening he had to stop and start writing down notes for a recording he would have to make talking about his views on the same subject. I forwarded Allister's message to Lindsay and then I connected the two of them and before I knew what was happening they had decided that we wer...
CCATP #674 — Cooking Like a Programmer
March 07, 2021 02:32 - 48 minutes - 22.2 MBBart Busschots joins us for Chit Chat Across the Pond in an episode of what he calls "Programming Adjacent". It's not about programming, it's actually about cooking and not wasting food. But Bart, being a programmer, approaches the problem like a programmer. I guarantee you that no one else on earth approaches cooking and food inventory in the same way as Bart. It was great fun to learn how he does it and to contrast it to how in my house, two engineers have come up with a completely differ...
CCATP #673 – Lindsay Tondee on Working from Home
February 27, 2021 16:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBLindsay Tondee, Senior Manager in Quality Assurance at a global pharmaceutical company, joins us to talk about whether it's a good or a bad thing that companies are thinking about having their workforce continue to work from home indefinitely. I originally thought this would be a great thing because we'll have fewer cars on the road, less traffic and pollution, office buildings won't be needed and people gain hours of their life back because they're not spending it commuting in their cars. ...
CCATP #672 – TTT 37A of n – SSH Agents
February 21, 2021 02:46 - 31 minutes - 14.5 MBIn 2017 on Taming the Terminal installment 37 of n, Bart taught us about SSH agents and the advantages of using a passphrase to further protect your SSH keys. In the intervening four years, things have changed a bit in macOS, so we decided to do a supplemental update to installment 37. We review a bit about what SSH Keys are (from installment 30) and then discuss how much easier and cleaner things are on macOS with the clean integration of your identity, passphrase and Apple's Keychain. Yo...
CCATP #671 – Allison Sheridan on American Council of the Blind Radio
February 15, 2021 00:29 - 1 hour - 29 MBThis week the tables are turned and you'll actually hear me being interviewed. I was asked to be on the Magic Mac Show, which is on the American Council of the Blind's streaming radio channel. Hosts Tyson Ernst, Katie Frederick and Jason Castonguay asked me on so they could learn about how I got interested in accessibility and what it's helped me do. During the latter part of the show, they do something terrifying - they allow live audience listeners to call in and ask questions! I've al...
CCATP #670 – Ken Ray on Apple's Record-Breaking Earnings Call
February 03, 2021 04:20 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBThis week our guest on Chit Chat Across the Pond is Ken Ray, host of the macOS Ken Podcast, hosted at[ macosken.com](http://macosken.com). You may have been wondering why Ken had never been on Chit Chat Across the Pond before, but I just wanted to make sure he was going to stick with it. Since he just hit his 15 year anniversary of doing macOS Ken, I decided it was probably safe to have him on the show. I asked Ken to come on the show to walk us through Apple's record-breaking quarterly e...
CCATP #669 – Bart Busschots on PBS 111 of X – Stashing Changes
February 01, 2021 00:28 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how Git can help us when we forget to switch to the correct branch before starting to make changes to our code. We're only human, and we will forget, and Git's `stash` command allows us to set our changes aside, switch to or even create and switch to the correct branch and then apply our changes. His explanations and repetition in the exercises really cement the knowledge. As a bonus tip, he teaches us how to make shell variabl...
CCATP #668 – Bart Busschots on PBS 110 of X – Merge Conflicts
January 17, 2021 02:04 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth Bart teaches us how to deal with conflicts in branches of our code. He has been purposely only changing one thing at a time before now, but it's time to face the reality of when two branches change the same line in the same file. I've been terrified of this topic for a long time, but Bart shows us how easy it is to see exactly what the conflict is, how you can back out of merging if you make "a pig's breakfast" of it, and how to resolve your conf...
CCATP #667 – Mike Price on Keyboard Maestro
January 07, 2021 01:12 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBThis week our guest for Chit Chat Across the Pond is Mike Price, also known as @Grumpy in the podfeet slack and our live show chat room. During the live NosillaCast, I have to perform a super repetitive set of tasks to add chapter marks as I'm recording the show. If you enjoy there _being_ chapter marks, you should give partial thanks to Mike, because he figured out how to automate the process for me using Keyboard Maestro from keyboardmaestro.com/... The thing that fascinated me was that ...
CCATP #666 – Bart Busschots on PBS 109 of X — SemVar & Structured Commits
December 29, 2020 04:44 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBWe continue our mini-series within a series learning the version control system Git. We learn two methods to enhance our branching strategy. First, we'll walk through some basic principles on how to number our released versions of our code. From there we'll explore three types of changes that would cause a change in our release version: fixes, new features, and breaking changes. Each of these types of updates to the version of our code can be articulated with Semantic Versioning, also known ...
CCATP #665 – Bart Busschots on PBS 108 of X — Merging & Tagging
December 18, 2020 18:34 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots continues on his series within a series explaining the version control system Git. We advance in our branching strategy by working several commits on our dev branch and then learn to use a merge commit to bring only the final commit into the main branch, leaving the half-working intermediate commits to exist only on the dev branch. This process illustrates the need to learn about tags, both light-weight and annotated. Once we u...
CCATP #664 – Tom Merritt on Time Management
December 09, 2020 03:33 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MBThis week's guest is Tom Merritt, prolific podcaster, author, and lover of dogs. I asked Tom to come on the show to explain how on earth he does as much as he does. We walk through all of his podcasts, what he has to do to prepare for them, and how he makes the time to get all of them done. He talks about the research required for each of them and even how some require him to watch TV. On top of podcasting, he's an author, he walks his dogs, he exercises, and even spends time with his wife...
CCATP #663 – Bart Busschots on PBS 107 of X – Branching Basics
November 29, 2020 22:58 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBThis week in our miniseries on learning the version control system Git, Bart dips our proverbial toe into branching. Branches allow us, as developers, to work on bugs or feature enhancements in a separate place from our stable code, and only merge the code back in when the bugs are squashed or the features are stable. We don't get much practice in this instalment, but rather Bart talks to us about the idea of having a strategy for when to branch and how to name your branches in order to pr...
CCATP #662 – Rod Simmons on Screencasting Tips and Tricks
November 25, 2020 02:03 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBThis week Rod Simmons of the SMR Podcast smrpodcast.com/... joins me to talk about our tips and tricks for doing effective screen casting. We started by going through some more strategic ideas on how to get your message across with a screencast, and then we dug into some of the techniques and tools we use to edit our screencasts.
CCATP #661 – Bart Busschots on PBS 106 of X — Time Travel with Git
November 20, 2020 14:45 - 50 minutes - 23.3 MBAs we continue to learn Git from the command line for version control, Bart teaches us some tricks to travel through time. First he shows us how to view more compact Git logs so we can just see a shortened hash and the first line of our commit message. Then he shows us how to pick out a single commit from the past and see what changed. Then he shows us how, with surgical precision, we can go back in time and get a single file or even just the changes from a specific commit and bring them f...
CCATP #660 – Lory Gil on M1 Macs
November 13, 2020 16:37 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBIt wouldn’t be an Apple announcement week without Lory Gil joining us, managing editor of iMore. We start the conversation by talking about what all of the new M1 Macs have in common, which is much more than we're used to seeing. Then we talk about what System on a Chip (SoC) actually means and why it's so important to us. There is a very subtle, but possibly important difference between the 256GB and 512GB storage models of the MacBook Air, which makes it even more interesting to decide b...
CCATP #659 – Bart Busschots on PBS 105 – Seeing the Past with Git
November 08, 2020 01:58 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBBart takes us on a time traveling adventure with Git. By using commands like `git diff` we can see changes over time, but we can actually see older versions of the code in a couple of ways. Using the `archive` command we learned out to pull just the files at a certain point in time (without the history) and the more terrifying `checkout` command that creates a "detached HEAD"! Bart even explains why that phrase was introduced and what it actually means. This was a fun lesson and a good fou...

CCATP #658 – Bart Busschots on PBS 104 – Tracking Changes in Git
October 25, 2020 02:54 - 52.6 MBIn our next baby step in learning to use the version control system Git, Bart teaches us how to track changes. We start by doing a bit of housekeeping, especially for Mac users to set Git to always ignore those pesky .DS_Store files. We learn how to stage and then commit a simple change, then we stage and commit multiple changes and even learn to see the differences in our staged files from the database all from the command line. While we all think we're capable of making one structural c...
CCATP #657 – Lory Gil on the iPhone 12 Announcement
October 16, 2020 23:29 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBLory Gil, managing editor from iMore is back to talk about the new toys announced by Apple this week. In a show where we do NOT talk about 5G we instead talk about how cool it is that Apple brought so many features to the entire product line of iPhones, and then we go deep into a couple of the differences between the models. We talk about magnetometers, nano ceramic crystals and more nerdy terms. Lory speculates on what fun things we'll get out of the MagSafe connector - like maybe we can st...
CCATP #656 – Bart Busschots on PBS 103 of X — Getting Started With Git
October 11, 2020 19:56 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBAfter some quick revision from the previous episode, Bart explains how Git commands work with their subcommands. We start by looking at how to configure Git and the differences between local, global and system-level settings. Then we create our very first repo with an exciting README file, and we commit the file to our repo. It's a fairly simple lesson while laying down a good foundation for all future work. You can find the shownotes for this installment at PBS 103 of X — Getting Start...
CCATP #655 – Jill (from the North Woods) McKinley on Starting a Podcast
October 02, 2020 04:18 - 42 minutes - 39 MBThis week our guest is Jill McKinley of the Start with Small Steps Podcast at smallstepspod.com. Those of you who listen to the NosillaCast may already know her from her many fantastic tech reviews for the show as Jill from the North Woods. I'm a fan of the Start With Small Steps podcast thought it would be fun to have Jill to come on to talk about what it's like to start a podcast in 2020. All of my experience and knowledge about starting is 15 years old so I was curious what it's like no...
CCATP #654 – Bart Busschots on PBS 102 of X – Introducing Git
September 27, 2020 21:04 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBIn our last Programming By Stealth we learned about the concept of version control, and the evolution from client/server version control to peer-to-peer version control and the creation of Git. In this installment we start learning the fundamental concepts of Git. We learn about the database, the working copy, and the index and understanding the difference is critical to effectively using Git. We also dig into the Git database and begin to learn the terminology inside it, which oddly uses ...
CCATP #653 – Lory Gil on New Apple Watches, iPads and Services
September 17, 2020 00:26 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBWith the new announcements of Apple Watches, iPads and services like Fitness+ and Apple One, the best person to talk to is Lory Gil, managing editor of iMore. In this episode we talk about whether the new Apple Watch Series 6 processor matters, or is it the new colors that excite us. Is Apple doing a good job bringing out lower-priced products for those with less disposable income or are they doing it wrong? Family setup allows a child or an elderly parent have an Apple Watch that makes ph...
CCATP #652 – Bart Busschots on PBS 101 - Introducing Version Control
September 13, 2020 02:53 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBIt's time to take on a new subject: version control. As Bart explains in this week's episode, version control allows you make changes in your code and roll the changes back. This gives us the freedom to experiment and if an idea doesn't pan out, get back to where we started. Bart explains some of the origins of version control, starting with client server systems and then tells us how peer-to-peer version control has become the standard from industry to open source. Bart explains how the ...
CCATP #651 – Bart Busschots on PBS 100 of X — Time Sharing Challenge Solution
August 30, 2020 21:19 - 1 hour - 89.8 MBIn this positively _delightful_ episode, Bart and I celebrate 100 episodes of Programming By Stealth. When we hit 99 instalments, Bart declared that for 100, there should be cake! So I got Bart's darling beloved to deliver him a piece of cake right as we started, and Steve delivered one to him. To say that Bart was surprised and delighted would be an understatement! This episode is entirely dedicated to us describing our solutions to the Time Sharing challenge from PBS 96, and to explain...

CCATP #647 – Bart Busschots on Taming the Terminal 39 of n – Advanced TMUX
July 26, 2020 22:59 - 42.4 MBThis week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond was another installment of Taming the Terminal. Two weeks ago Bart taught us the basics of a technology called `tmux`, or terminal multiplexer that allows you to access the same server in many different ways at the same time. He covered how `tmux` replaces the deprecated `screen` but he didn't go much further. In this rather light and easy-to-follow installment, he takes `tmux` up a notch and shows us how to create multiple windows, and mult...

CCATP #645 – Bart Busschots on Taming the Terminal 38 of n – TMUX (a Screen Alternative)
July 12, 2020 01:38 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWhen Bart first started the Taming the Terminal series in October of 2015, he purposely declared every installment to be "of n" where n was not defined. It's been 3 years since there was an episode of Taming the Terminal, but today we've got a new one for you. In Taming the Terminal 36, recorded in 2016, Bart introduced us to a nifty command-line tool called screen. Screen allowed you to ssh into a server, and start a session but disconnect and come back to it without stopping the process...

June 28, 2020 23:58 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBThis week Bart Busschots brings us the penultimate JavaScript installment of Programming By Stealth as he brings us part 2 of building with classes. This wraps up our third look at Object Oriented programming in JavaScript. We learn about the concept of inheritance, and how it allows us to build classes that inherit attributes and functions from parent classes. This allows us to eliminate code duplication which Bart explains is called a "bad smell". You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes...
CCATP #642 –– Bart Busschots on PBS 98 — Building with Classes Part 1 — Has-A
