tmefq··on High Dietary Sugar Reshapes Taste to Promote Feeding Behavior in Fruit Flies
A bit clickbaity. "A high sugar diet decreases sweet taste sensation and blunted sweet taste promotes overconsumption and obesity", but that only applies to sugary stuff, and not to any kind of food; I'm sure it could apply to everything (like people who have to put too much salt in food because they've gotten used to it).
tmefq··on Google AdWords Exploit Seen in the Wild
WordPress does it in the admin interface. A very clever hack. Something like:

    a:after {
        content: attr(href);
        display: inline-block;
        padding: 0 1ex;
    }
tmefq··on Tencent replaces PUBG with a Chinese government-friendly alternative
As someone who plays in an international server of World of Warcraft with a significant Chinese population, allow me to agree with you.

As an example, I speak languages other than English, but I wouldn't dare speak them in a public channel in the game because I know it's impolite. Chinese players didn't get that memo.

But this is part of the same thing as impolite Chinese tourists, etc. It's a cultural thing.

That's never, ever happened to me.
tmefq··on Czech Republic proposes the highest digital tax rate in Europe
Not sure about the situation in Czechia but in Spain (where I live) I'd say most of it is caused by the fact that jobs have moved to the big cities to the point where there's nothing left to do in small/mid-sized towns. Personally I blame shopping centres (which have destroyed most small stores in every town they've settled in, and don't require as many active people) and cheap production in Eastern Europe and China (which has destroyed the secondary sector).
tmefq··on To ORM or Not to ORM
Yes that's what happened to me. Project requirements.
tmefq··on To ORM or Not to ORM
Well said. I bitterly hated sqlalchemy because many times I knew perfectly well how to write a query in plain sql but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to write the same query using the sqlalchemy language.
