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?

just randomly tagging some peeps that might have an opinion on this...

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?

Literally 1 or 2. But also on a case by case basis, it really depends. Can you DM me the example(s)?

I'll have to trace back my steps and see if I can find them. It might take some digging.

i mean, i'll say this. if you google for keras char rnn, a lot of code on blogs look a lot likehttps://github.com/keras-team/keras/blob/master/examples/lstm_text_generation.py …

To avoid us all repeating stuff, see this side-thread. Basically they may repeat a lot of stuff but if it's boiler plate unoriginal stuff that "everybody does" it's probably un-copyrightable.https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/991739104021876736 …

But in the Keras example, it seems like that is an example of basic usage, despite the fact that the keras library itself is under MIT license.

As I said elsewhere, my personal best practise is to still cite it. Somebody still wrote that and if I lift it verbatim, I want to know who I am quoting (so to speak).https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/991743940553474048 …

Also yes, as you say it's basic usage and OF COURSE keras is not going to sue you over using. But you would be pretty shitty if you pretending YOU wrote those lines of code yourself.
