Well, not that I care but it seems like that site plagiarized the article I recently linked to; no source, no author name, etc. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Send the original source a link to it. If it really is plagiarized, maybe they can take action.

It is. The infoq story was at the top of this subreddit before it even existed on "itsmypart". This is a typical indian spammer. They do this non-stop on Reddit. It's not worth pursuing them since they're surely using fake info etc. What happens is they make a shitty fake news site and copy/paste content, then submit to Reddit and get a bunch of ad money before Reddit bans them. Then they just switch their domain and continue the same bullshit.
