I had only a look at the linked article.

He gave the links to the copied material in the Reference section with additional explanations about the code.

I would let pass the article if the sources are more clearly indicated and required information is present (licenses). For the code blocks this may be comments on top like 'This is from xxx' and 'This is based on xxx' and adding specific license information (the Google sources are under the MIT license which does not correspond to the CPOL for the article). For cited text this may be headers 'xxx guide:' or footers like 'Source: xxx').

I suggest to request the author to add the necessary information and report as plagiarised if he will not do so (he violates at least the MIT license).
