stack overflow is for single, specific technical (vs design/architectural) questions. Try to formulate more specific questions (multiple is fine) and post them to the correct site on the stackexchange network. Perhaps some of those reformulated questions may be more appropriate for programmers.stackexchange.com. — xaxxon39 secs ago
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's a general question about OSX software installation. You may be able to get help on Ask Different. — Jim Stewart9 secs ago
obviously there is no best. and obviously every hashing algorithm has collisions. and obviously, this question is highly opinionated and is too broad to be answered concisely. IMHO very off-topic for SO. maybe this question on SE may provide you some insight? — Franz Gleichmann38 secs ago
Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow - please refer to what to ask — Franz Gleichmann49 secs ago

@CandiedOrange Yeah @Duga is picking everything with the word "software" in it which is kind of a problem because it's part of a lot of canned comment replies. I tried sending some messages to it in Duga's Chat room in CodeReview but I don't think I got the syntax right; here's Simon's chat post if you want to try it yourself.
@xaxxon you are suggesting that the OP repost the question on a site where it would not be welcome for exactly the same reason it's off topic here - i.e. it's too broad. (I speak as both a SO and Software Engineering mod). — ChrisF ♦6 secs ago

Those use cases are subjective though. In my view, there are no valid use cases for inheritance, thus whether the super class is abstract or not is entirely moot. Others disagree with my "extreme" position on this. — David Arno1 hour ago
Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't inheritance a known main feature of OOP? Since the question is tagged [object-oriented] is the statement there's no valid use case for inheritance to a certain extent not primarily opinion based for OOP? See Object-Oriented programming
You code seems very mixed up. VHDL is a hardware description language, not a software language. What hardware do you expect this code to produce? You need to divide your design into sub-blocks: counters, FSMs, shift-registers, blocks of combinational logic etc. Then you need to code these using these templates. — Matthew Taylor13 secs ago
I mean, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with David here but I don't see how inheritance is not objectively a requirement for true OOP design, based on what I've read in various books. Clean Code and Object Thinking seem to make a powerful statement that inheritance is needed for OOP; if this is a different kind of OOP that he's talking about let me know, I'd like to read about it.
@jrh “Prefer composition over inheritance” is a decade-old mantra, because inheritance leads to all kinds of annoyances and fragility and complication. Inheriting here means that I inherit data fields & method implementations from another class. However, interface inheritance is perfectly fine. And interface inheritance is all I need to have subtying & polymorphism.
