I'm sorry but doesn't this go against this community's concept of providing simple explanations for things?
Why? The fact that it's thousands of lines of code does not mean you can't ELI5 it
I meant the precision that OP already has knowledge in the domain and asks for more in depth elements
I don't know. In the description I only see
That is hardly domain knowledge. One would have to be writing in assembler or programming microcontrollers to be able to say they are nibbling on the domain knowledge for this. And knowing the trends we are probably not even speaking about C/C++, rather python. This makes the answering easier only because you don't have to explain what the executive is
The answers given are good and it was rather other commenters that started requesting more depth
Yes, and as someone who is probably close to a 5yo's knowledge on the topic, I don't know anything (or close to that) on either programming or other parts of being "tech savvy". Thus me saying that coming on the ELI5 community and saying "yeah I actually want a very much not 5yo answer type" is not the spirit, I'd much rather like first basic answers, and eventually other comments going more in-depth, like we see in the majority of posts here
