Considering the current COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown period in my country, which lasted for a few months, I’ve been thinking about spending some time exploring the data about the virus spread.

Today I’ve got my copy of Programming Algorithms, which is a book about algorithms and data structures using Lisp.

Continuing my Lisp journey over the past few months I went ahead and started another side project, so I could spend more time with Common Lisp.

In this post we will see how to install and configure a Kubernetes cluster on Arch Linux nodes.

Python provides a useful function for enumerating a sequence of numbers in the form of the range function. If you are looking for range function in Common Lisp you would find lots of various implementations.

Emacs provides a mechanism for advising functions, which is useful in situations when you need to override the original function with your own one, transform the arguments before passing them down to the advised function, execute some code before, or after the function being advised is called, etc.

Common Lisp provides a variety of data structures for mapping key/value pairs.

In my spare time (whenever I get to have some these days) I like to poke around in the world of Lisp.

The vSAN Management SDK for Python is distributed as a Zip archive available at code.vmware.com. The latest version as of writing this document is 6.7.0 and can be found here.

In Clojure if we need to combine maps together we can use the merge function.
