Once you're very familiar with the process, you could get a draft of a basic prose novel ready for proofreading in a few hours. Then it has to be proofread and completed.
Beginners, and people working on more advanced books, can take much, much, much longer.
it varies widely depending on the length and type of book and how much free time the volunteer has to devote to it
Anywhere between 1 week for the simplest (straight narrative, not too much verse or endnotes) and ~1 year (thousands of endnotes, pages of verse, drama, in-line references to book titles, use of technical terms, etc)
Yeah I have accessibility/distraction issues with all the flair and animations and small text in vs code.
I know all text editors need some degree of config to be comfortable but sublime is nearly immediately usable. Vs code is the only thing I need to configure to remove flair and features vs extend them.

What part of the passage confirms GP's (who's GP?) statement? Again, I can't paste the entire 64 page bill in a hacker news comment. You have to do some effort to read the bill to figure out what they're talking about.
My guess is they found a room-temperature superconductor that can store incredible amounts of electrical energy, and the quantum drive from https://ivolimited.us/ actually works.
You really think the Senate Majority Leader would risk his reputation on a 60 page bill that references "non-human intelligence" 20+ times a misdirection? The only misdirection I see is your ignorance
In case you are wondering: QNX is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system owned by BlackBerry, aimed primarily at the embedded systems market.
The "unix-like" characterisation seems it might be be from the Wikipedia QNX article and repeated by a lot of web content. But it doesn't seem really accurate to me and it's not used by their own web site or documentation. It seems quite opposite to Unix in a lot of ways even though it has some API compatibility.
“In the early 80's they began work on a small message passing kernel based OS that had some user interface similarities to UNIX.”
“They called their product QUNIX, reportedly because it was a "Quick UNIX". They named their company Quantum Software Systems Limited. The QUNIX name lasted a year or two until they received notice from AT&T; that a change would be appropriate. Always ready for a challenge, they changed the spelling to QNX® without changing the pronunciation.”
Yes it has some source-level Unix compatible app-facing interfaces, but we don't call the Steam OS/Deck a Windows-like either. (eg Windows NT was also POSIX certified)
I'd definitely call the Steam Deck unix-like, although GNU/Linux is less POSIX-conformant than QNX is.
Source-level and command-level compatibility is what makes something "unix-like". Paying a hefty annual license fee to the Open Group is what makes your OS "Unix". I don't believe there is any benefit to BlackBerry paying such a fee so they can slap their logo on their web site since the US DoD is not a target market for them.
Nevertheless, arguing that something is not "unix-like" just because it's very much like Unix is, well, odd.
