For Japan in specific, you’ll want to look into JCFC. Not a tax or legal advice, but IIRC it boils down to: if your company (assuming 100% ownership) is paying less taxes than a Japanese company would, and you’re a Japanese tax resident, you would need to pay the difference in Japan. It is probably similar in other jurisdictions that have CFC laws.

Also do read up on permanent establishment rules as well.

687 of those are acupuncture, a form of alternative medicine. So it might help on a psychological level, but certainly not a requirement for IVF.

That said, 245 is still a big number. 79 blood samples and 166 hormone injections.

I still believe Rust is a red herring here. Your ‘uv but written in Python’ would probably have the same success as uv does now, if you did focus on speed over correctness. And I’ve yet to hear about pipx or Poetry getting trashed, but if it is a problem, I don’t think it’s impossible to solve in Python vs Rust.

So yeah, this is your actual problem. (Don’t worry, I’m in the same camp here.)

As much as I'm a Python fan I strongly disagree here that rust is a red herring.

Having a static binary makes distribution way simplier. There are a bunch of ways you could try to achive something like in python but it would be significantly larger.

Performance-wise writing it in python would have heavy startup overhead and wouldn't be able to get close to the same level of performance.

Obviously you could achive the same thing in many other languages, but rust ends up being a really good fit for making a small static binary for this workload of network heavy, IO-bound, async/threading friendly with the occasional bit of CPU heavy work.

>>> ‘uv but written in Python’

you mean pdm?

It’ll probably be a game changer for scripts, yes. Writing “portable” Python scripts was a nice exercise, though (and will be, for a while).

This is a good lesson. What is legal is orthogonal to what is moral and/or good for you.

Webmention is the modern counterpart: https://indieweb.org/Webmention

(The IndieWeb wiki is probably the best resource for exploring the personal website-based social networking tech nowadays. I recommend the author check it out and maybe iterate on that instead :)

Is any of this stuff sort of out there working and I maybe used it without realising?

Or it's all super niche for "personal website-based social networking" enthusiasts and never took off, because big players didn't implement it and we need them to, or whatever?

I think they mean in s@.

...which doesn’t do signing, but does do E2E encryption? So it’s more like DMs-over-HTTPS.

Negative.

Put country first. Postcode doesn’t make sense without one. Prepopulating one based on location is generally okay, but don’t assume it will always be the same.

Or just don’t try to be too clever.
