The document provides an agenda for a talk on modeling a Rubik's Cube in JavaScript. It begins with an introduction to scripting languages and ECMAScript. It then discusses modeling a Rubik's Cube by first walking through the code, then modeling the cube and finding moves to solve it. The document covers topics like scripting languages, ECMAScript, object-oriented programming concepts in JavaScript, and modeling a Rubik's Cube to be manipulated programmatically.
The document repeatedly emphasizes the importance of studying. It suggests that continual learning and academic pursuit are crucial for personal and professional growth. The repetitive nature highlights the significance and focus on study as a central theme.
This document discusses improving the schema definition process in ZIO SQL. It proposes using Scala case classes and ZIO Schema to capture the structure of data and generate table schemas. ZIO Schema analyzes case classes to provide implicit schemas, and an AccessorBuilder pattern is used to generate column expressions from the schemas. This avoids boilerplate while providing type safety compared to alternatives like plain SQL strings.
1) Capacity building in non-profits involves investing in overhead costs like leadership development, strategic planning, and financial management in order to help an organization better fulfill its mission.
2) However, non-profits often underinvest in capacity building due to pressures from funders and the public to keep overhead costs low, despite evidence that such investments can significantly improve an organization's programs and sustainability.
3) Case studies show that foundations who provide targeted capacity building grants see impacts like improved services, strategic planning, and fundraising from beneficiary organizations. Where impacts are most generated includes areas like decision making tools, board leadership, and organizational learning.
