First you either have to carry the dock everywhere if you want portability which negates the advantage of carrying just a phone.
Unless the dock is just OTG and HDMI cables to use with the keyboard and monitor already at your destination. Then the phone's surface becomes a laptop-style trackpad to control the mouse pointer.
It's too bad Matias had to price its Half Keyboard for sale to health insurers rather than individuals.
In the context of applications that run on graphical computing devices and communicate through the Internet, I must respectfully disagree with your dismissal of "the economic or sociological aspects of the problem." If one considers only technical metrics, such as runtime and memory efficiency, an assembly language program can theoretically beat a C++ "native compiled desktop application" because practical compilers miss some opportunities for optimization. For example, my assembly code for the 8-bit 6502 processor routinely outperforms the output of the most popular C compiler for that processor.
It's just that assembly language doesn't see a lot of use for mass-market applications because end users demand rapid iteration of features and compatibility with existing hardware more than runtime and memory efficiency. The widespread use of C++ rather than assembly language for native application is thus caused by "economic or sociological aspects". And when rapid iteration and compatibility pressures are even more intense, said aspects drive developers to cross-platform compromises, such as the Java virtual machine, the Common Language Runtime, and the JavaScript virtual machine.
Microsoft managed to get its patented exFAT file system into the SDXC standard. Smartphone makers are forbidden to advertise support for microSD cards larger than 32 GB, the maximum for SDHC, without paying royalties to Microsoft for exFAT. Once flash memory prices continue to fall such that the smallest widely available SD cards are 64 GB, I don't see any way to work around this other than to completely eliminate the microSD card slot.
I can beat any inline script with a native compiled desktop application.
If you're a small developer, good luck affording one instance of each operating system and CPU
Who said anything about being a small developer?
"I can beat" and not "My company can beat".
Besides, all business that aren't spinoffs start as small businesses. Where should a startup find both the time and the money to launch five native applications, one for each platform, on day one?
So what do you do if you have processes that must live longer than "for[sic] weeks"? I remember participating in a forum discussion where someone mentioned having to keep information for incomplete orders in an open program on a PC connected to a UPS. The information provided by a customer couldn't be written to disk for legal reasons, as the orders were for something tightly regulated such as insurance. Nor could it be discarded for marketing reasons, as the customer expected to be able to pick up where he left off. Yet Windows 10's reboot every "for weeks" would discard everything.
Open Group Policy Editor (Press Windows Key and type gpedit.msc and hit Enter.
Last time I tried gpedit.msc on a home edition of Windows, I got an error message to the effect "not found". So it appears users who want to access files with long names would have to either pay to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro or pirate the Group Policy Editor snap-in. What am I missing?
The high use of Chrome was triggered by issues with Firefox (which I think have been well managed by now).
I consider Firefox's issues managed as of Firefox 51, which brings the first round of Electrolysis to most users so that scrolling and tab switching aren't quite as affected by inefficient ad serving scripts.
(Unlike Firefox 50, which uses a whitelist of e10s-compatible extensions, Firefox 51 uses a blacklist of incompatible extensions. The "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" extension that ships with the Xubuntu operating system is on neither list. So to get e10s, I have to join the beta channel by enabling the firefox-next PPA.)
As for Windows - they stopped selling Windows 7 and 8 in 2016 so well of course Windows 10 will continue to increase. Customer can't get anything else in the future.
GNU/Linux is still available for desktop PCs, as is macOS for PCs made by Apple.
Android had 54% in 2015. So looks like mobile is the way to go.
Say I want to retire a luddite PC and use apps to app apps. How practical is it to use AIDE or another tool on an Android tablet for developing Android apps?
Javascript is not a performance issue unless used horribly - and you really can't blame the browser for that.
We can blame the browser publishers for the default that they chose. If the user had to explicitly enable scripts on a particular site, then there would be a disincentive to use it horribly, as word would get around that scripts on a particular origin are in fact "used horribly".
What's more, it's been expected behavior (to have it enabled) for more than a decade
Then we can blame browser publishers for the present effects of the default that they chose "more than a decade" ago.
If you want it off, turn it off.
Because allowing all scripts from all combinations of document origin and script origin is "expected behavior", as you acknowledge, many website operators have made a business decision not to try to accommodate those who "turn it off." Symantec's website is completely unusable with it off. Discourse is read-only with it off. Thus mainstream users are unlikely to consider "turn[ing] it off" for fear that it will break the core functionality of the majority of sites that they visit.
You recompile native for each operating system, and in fact, for each CPU.
If you're a small developer, good luck affording one instance of each operating system and CPU on which to test as well as a code signing certificate for each platform and renewals thereof.
Registering an Apple ID on a device requires a payment method in order to reduce friction toward the user's first App Store, iTunes Store, or IAP purchase. This makes the platform more attractive to developers so that they don't have to rely on ads so much.
The interim extensions in the 1960s, the Copyright Act of 1978, and the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 were all part of the same change: phasing in the "life of grandchildren" standard that the rest of the developed world had been using for decades, including an update to reflect increased overall longevity. The Supreme Court recognized this when it upheld the CTEA in Eldred v. Ashcroft, and the opinion of the Court carefully distinguished this from the possibility of "legislative misbehavior" that public domain advocates would come to call "perpetual copyright on the installment plan". But so far, no major industrialized countries other than Mexico have tried to push anything beyond life of grandchildren. So I don't see a possibility for a drastic shift in the rationale underlying international copyright term standards between now and the end of 2023, when U.S. copyright in the works establishing the characters Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh is set to expire under current law.
But then only very few people are professional authors in the first place. Nowadays, with print on demand services and e-books, it's easier than ever to self-publish. In fact, one e-book that I've bought from an individual author is E-Word: Edenics Digital Dictionary by Isaac Mozeson, a list of false cognates between Hebrew and other languages, as a DRM-free PDF.
The Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, has something similar to this: less frequently accessed books go into more dense storage in the downtown branch's basement, and patrons can request them through the catalog terminal.

If a legacy program expects strcpy() into a MAX_PATH-byte local variable to work, I don't see what can be made "graceful" about it.

Using longer paths may cause buffer overflows in programs not written to expect longer paths.

I was under the impression that the name "Edge" came from <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> used to disable legacy document mode in Internet Explorer.
back door bullshit shovling all your searches direct to amazon
I solved that in December 2011: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
Then five years later when it came time for a clean reinstall for various reasons, I went with Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Unless "being popular" is how you find a potential coworker. They used to call it "professional networking" before LinkedIn coopted that phrase.
AFAIK, only _one_ CA has ever been removed from web browsers' trusted issuer lists, and that's DigiNotar.
Certificates issued by StartCom and WoSign on or after 2016-10-21 are distrusted because of backdating to circumvent SHA-1 phase-out.
If you run your private CA it's a different matter.
If you run a private CA, forget about owners of bring-your-own devices being able to figure out how to trust its root certificate.
StartSSL (the only CA whose free certificates don't require continuous auto-renewal)
StartSSL certificates had to be renewed every 366 days.
