Hyperbee is super useful for storing data and searching for data using it's ordered key search. When you set up your keyspace just right, you can query a small subset of a large database and quickly load what you need without having to download the entire dataset or traverse it.
This module seeks to make it easier to set up these indexes for JSON data and to make it easy to query large datasets.

Ethereum is a trustless network of VMs which run smart contracts submitted by users. It uses proof-of-work to synchronize state across the network, and has every node execute the contracts in order to verify the state's validity. Each transaction is stored in the blockchain for replayability. Read more about it here.
Ethereum's "trustless network" model has some disadvantages:

Banks are centralised institutions that, among other things, offer credit to individuals, groups and corporations.

The primary role of a bank was risk management in the form of the due diligence required to assess if a potential borrower was a worthwhile investment. With the advent of nation-state money printing and fractional-reserve banking, whereby money is lent into existence and losses are publicly subsidized by inflation and bailouts, the traditional care of risk management for loans has all but been obiliterated.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has emerged as a means to decentralise the oligopolistic hold that banks possess in every category for lending. While P2P lending is still in early days, regulatory pressure is mounting making P2P lending

One of the most commonly overlooked and under-refined elements of a website is its pagination controls. In many cases, these are treated as an afterthought. I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.
Before going into analyzing good and bad pagination, I want to explain just what I consider to be pagination: Pagination is any kind of control system that lets the user browse through pages of search results, archives, or any other kind of continued content. Search results are the o
