Pencil latency drop to 9ms is best I've seen.

True. I am just wary of the line being drawn on the conservative side. Edit: wary not weary lol
Wary. I think the battle on this is already lost, but "weary" means tired, and is pronounced "weery"
FWIW Garner classifies this error as "stage 1" (rejected) in a recent edition, so we're still safe for a while, at least in professional writing. However, I do see this mistake more often than I see either word used correctly in non-professional Web writing, to include much work that is paid, but neither written nor edited at anything like a professional level.
Garner attributes the error—among pros, anyway—to closeness to "leery". I'd guess it's more often just bad phonemic awareness when committed by the general public, though.

#83I remember when apple was lauded for unifying the forked os for ipad into iOS.
i guess they changed their minds.
Re: iPadOS
#84Will there be a multi-user mode? Perfect for separating work from home or multiple clients... It would make iPad so much more usable as a single device for both work and fun.

#85Why are we as developers giving this company any of our business when they've thumbed their noses at us for decades?
Because we as developers also desperately want a UNIX-style system, and our lives are so much easier when we can choose one that won't get us laughed out of the room by commercial software vendors.

Nothing like that was announced

#87No information on whether the iPad Pro keyboard is fully compliant in terms of arrow keys, etc. This really gets in the way of things like Cloud 9, hosted VS Code, etc.
As much as people (myself included) wish we could do native development on the iPad, I would quickly settle for just supporting Cloud 9. The only reason I have to bring two laptops and an iPad with me when I travel instead of just one laptop and an iPad is because Cloud 9 doesn't work on an iPad, for absolutely no good reason.

iPads still don't have a calculator app? I find that baffling.
It's probably because the iPhone calculator app is a four function calculator, and porting that as-is to the iPad would look absolutely comical.
It has much more than 4 functions when in landscape mode, including braces and powers

Watch my parents use a computer and I'm confident you'll change your mind :)
Well, I suppose “obvious” is relative. I think an interface that presents you with multiple windows by default, and then lets you drag them, is a lot more discoverable than what the iPad is doing.
I agree. This is a challenge with the iOS (and Android) UIs, I think. Mice and trackpads have a more obvious and somewhat richer set of "verbs" for interaction, e.g., right-click versus "try tapping with two fingers," and menu bars make all their commands very easily discoverable in ways that toolbar-only UIs have a lot of trouble duplicating.
I'm not sure, though, what a better approach is on the iPad, assuming that we don't just give a menu bar. I'm pretty interested in a lot of these changes; as silly as it may sound, being able to display two documents from the same app side by side on the iPad will alone solve one of my huge frustrations with the system as it is now, and the changes to the Files app sound like they'll be really useful in practice. I know there will be a lot of folks, particularly in the HN crowd, who will be upset that iPads can't do [Insert Thing They Need], but iOS, er, iPadOS is reaching a point where there's very little it can't do that I personally need. (Adding my proviso that "the iPad can't do this thing I need to do the way I'm used to doing it" should not be conflated with "the iPad can't do this thing I need.")

#90SIDECAR!!
That looks like a fantastic feature, especially due to the fact that you can use Apple Pencil to control your Mac. I wonder if that will cannibalize Wacom sales. Having used both Apple Pencil + iPad Pro and a Wacom tablet (separately), I found it real hard to draw on the Wacom table without seeing what I'm drawing under the pencil.
Wacom is one thing, but I'm wondering how quickly Duet [1] will shut down.
