At some point, most (all?) of us have "borrowed" code from the interwebs to use in our own code and that seems fine. But is copy-pasting blocks of code from another blog and publishing it in one's own blog considered as plagerism? I see this fairly often. Thoughts?

OK, so there's two different things going on here. 1. Copy-pasting SNIPPETS is usually fine because 2 lines of code or like how write a Python list comprehension for the thing at hand is not really "intellectual property". That's what snippet means usually.

2. STEALING chunks of somebody's code, i.e., passing off lines and lines of code written by another person/team as something you wrote is intellectual theft. So yes, that is 100% plagiarism. If they attribute it correctly according to the license of the code, then it's not theft.

I'm wondering where to draw the line between situation 1 and 2. At 5 lines of code? 10 lines?

Where you would have to cite in in a research paper as it is no longer common knowledge ?

I dunno, it might be "common knowledge" how to calculate the Gini but if you stole my code, you stole my code:https://github.com/oliviaguest/gini …

Not that I care, I put a CC0 for a reason. But CC0 doesn't mean you get to say YOU wrote it.
