While installing the GitHub Desktop on Windows 7 the error message is appeared:
"The procedure entry point SetDefaultDilDirectories could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."
Affected these DLL entry points: "SetDefaultDllDirectories, AddDllDirectory, and RemoveDllDirectory".
The security update KB2533623 is the solution to this problem

Delphereum is a Delphi interface to the Ethereum blockchain that allows for development of native decentralized applications.
$(BDS) is path shortcut which contains the full path to RAD IDE including "Bin" folder. Shortcuts are stored in rsvars.bat.

Web3, Decentralized autonomous organizations, Identity, Ethereum address

Web3 solves these problems by allowing you to control your digital identity with an Ethereum address and ENS profile. Using an Ethereum address provides a single login across platforms that is secure, censorship-resistant, and anonymous.

Quote was taken from Introduction to Web3. ethereum.org
I am tormented by seditious thought: the use of a unique and single address of that Ethereum is not the same "Permanent record", utmost centralization, the authentication token, but created and presented by the very man and by his own will?

Zero-knowledge proofs, however, can simplify authentication for both platforms and users. Once a ZK-proof has been generated using public inputs (e.g., data attesting to the user's membership of the platform) and private inputs (e.g., the user's details), the user can simply present it to authenticate their identity when they need to access the service. This improves the experience for users and frees organizations from the need to store huge amounts of user information.

No metadata could be loaded for: BlackfishSQL

Description of the problem is given for Delphi 2007.
Window of "Database Explore"

While an attempt to launch the "SQL Window" the Message box with error appeared.

---

Now is the solution:
While the RAD installation "dataexplore.exe.config" file is stored into the path:
"C:\Users\All Users\{6AF0EFC6-B937-4704-A430-319EB93F4C12}\dbexplr\D3C32C11\E7AAAB64..."
The way with aliases is:
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data..."
The "Database Explore" [dataexplore.exe] turns to the contents of the "Config file" [DataExplore.exe.config] which is in the "C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin" path.
The problem is solved by coping the "Config file" from the directory with "All users" path to the "bin" one!

F1026 File not found: 'DockForm.dcu'

Migrating to Delphi 2005/2006/2007/2009/2010 and higher ussues while Delphi code modernization trend.
There is no DockForm.pas in Delphi 2005/2006/2007/2009/2010 sources but you can use it in your application.
DockForm with such a name appeared in Delphi 4/5, with name uDockForm was in Delphi 6/7.
This is a piece of humpbacked advice:
Just add "designide" in Project -> Options -> Packages -> Build with runtime packages.
The design time package with the code in it is needed, add to "require" section.
Such an advice is applied for research only purposes.
First: to run the application on a computer where Delphi is not installed, one will need the copy bpl-file is required.
Second: it is not allowed to deploy any of that code, copyright would be infringed. One should never be recompiling the code in the toolsapi source directory.
