1. Introduction:
The "Stack Too Deep" error is a common issue encountered in Solidity development, particularly when working with complex smart contracts.
What difference?
How on earth is the richest man in Africa for more than a decade not a very powerful man in his own country?
This video just exposes another deep rooted issue in our society. It shows that many people still do not fully understand what truly drives national progress and prosperity.
A society progresses faster when it deeply respects both public office and productive enterprise. Government is important, but so are the people building industries, creating jobs, taking risks, solving problems, and expanding the economy at scale.
How do you expect a country to progress when the younger generation increasingly sees political office as more attractive than building factories, businesses, technology, and productive enterprises?
We are already seeing the consequences.
There are now more young people gathering around politicians than around factories, laboratories, farms and workshops.
Dangerously close to the 18 yard box, with not enough bodies to block the shot it puts him in a point blank range to shoot. They had no choice but to step out and close him and Bruno used that to his advantage
This is exactly what I had in mind when I saw that tweet earlier.
I was a defender back then, this is what you're told, shut off one path, force the attacker to go with the path you're selling them, it becomes 50/50, but if you face an attacker head on you're at a disadvantage
Moments like this are exactly what make Lionel Messi world class… and honestly, I’m so happy that Bruno Fernandes is one of the very few players who carries that same attribute.
Let me break it down as simply as possible like I’m explaining to a 7-year-old.
I played grassroots football in my prime, mostly as a centre-back (CB), so I understand what’s going on in the heads of those two defenders in that moment.
From experience and even from studying the game, you don’t mark an attacker while facing him square-on. No , you stay slightly sideways, choosing a direction, either left or right. Why? Because that way, you control where the attacker goes. You’re basically guiding him into a path you’re ready to shut down quickly if he follows it.
Now here’s where it gets interesting.
In that situation, both defenders had already chosen the direction they wanted him to go. They were set, waiting for him to “dance to their tune.” But this is where elite players are different.
Instead of rushing, instead of playing into their trap, he stayed calm… almost too calm. That calmness alone planted doubt in their minds.
The moment they realized he wasn’t biting, wasn’t moving the way they expected, panic crept in. One of them lost patience and decided to step out to close him down and that right , there was the mistake.
And trust me, players like Bruno and Messi don’t miss moments like that.
The second that defender stepped out, he already knew they’ve messed up. And he punished them instantly.
It’s those tiny, almost invisible details… the patience, the mind games, the control of space and timing… that separate players like him and Messi from just any random player.
That’s not just talent , that’s football intelligence at the highest level.
WHAT. A. PLAYER. 🔥
Facing an attacker head on gives them freedom to either go right or left, it becomes a guessing game on your end, but opening one side and closing the other lets you control where the attacker goes.
The defenders most likely stepped out because Bruno can shoot and he was getting
@epeya@PoojaMedia Not supporting NetNaija but what do you mean by "This is Nigeria..." do you think piracy is a Nigerian thing? In the grand scheme of things Nigeria is one of the least countries when it comes to piracy. You people just find every opportunity to bad mouth Nigeria
If you're in your early 20s, and have been 'academically gifted' almost without much effort, read this.
You're about to discover that, for the very first time, life will demand effort from you.
You're about to fail. Miserably. Quite soon, and inevitably as well. You cannot avoid it.
You'll expect things to go easy, but they won't. Work (the practical side, at least) very often refuses to mirror the theory you're so adept at absorbing.
Work politics, the boss who's devoted to ensuring your brilliance never shows, the one who genuinely cannot process things as fast as you do, but you have to work under anyway.
The confidence identity you've built almost solely around academic brilliance is an unbelievably fragile platform to stand on, in a world designed for grit, speed and delusion.
Sometimes, in a bid to think everything through, you'll stand in your own way.
You sometimes try to create mental models of the world where everything is perfect, but what you're really doing is defaulting to what comes easily to you - thinking about thoughts.
Sometimes you think it's because you're not careless, but most times it's because what's defined you and your brilliance,has always been ease. So you correlate difficulty with near-failure. And you're scared.
Sometimes you imagine you're above entry level roles, because you've seen your peers (at this level you're very much in contact with outliers) get high paying roles. Then time flies by.
If you're looking to start a business, get a co-founder who's oriented towards getting things done. Or you, yourself, understand that every idea in life, however brilliant, demands getting done.
And accept that "doing" hasn't been your forte. So start throwing yourself into things you're terrible at. Get bad, work through it. Push through the discomfort of looking awkward, and find something you were bad at, that you forced yourself to get good in.
A very decent marker of competence, btw, is a book-smart person who can dance. They're smart enough to make functional mental models of a very complex world, yet humble enough to grind through things they're not naturally gifted at, risk looking awkward, for a reward at the end, or just because.
@iamchrisani Already using Gemini to learn Spanish asked it to send me lessons everyday by 9AM. It prepares the lesson and sends me a notification everyday.
Immediately I saw this tweet I started laughing 🤣
This is 💯 based, if my laptop wasn't Lenovo it would've crashed long ago, cuz of the things it passes through in my hands.
