There are plenty of resources on the web on how to write good commit messages, and it isn’t really all that hard. I’d like to know what makes up a good tag message though. Simply citing the summary lines of all commits since the previous tag is probably not really useful. What do you deem a ‘quality’ tag message?

The only thing that I'd call a 'quality tag' would have to be fairly complete. Generally, I would consider a good tag to be short, to the point, but also explain exactly what went on, like so:
"Committed the public directory, containing the new logo (logo.png), the new stylesheet (style1.css), and with the javascript that selects checkboxes of parents if their children are checked in a hierarchical structure (checkheir.js), did some code refactoring, made it more readable, and added comments for easier comprehension -John Doe"

What is the difference between terms: "obsolete code" and "waste code"?
If there is the difference, what approaches are eligible for its reduction?
Obsolete code:
Code that may have been useful in the past, but is no longer used, e.g. code to use a deprecated protocol.
Waste code:
Never heard of the term, but I'd imagine - code that may or may not be executed that can be removed without changing workings of the application. I'd imagine this would include obsolete code.
Either of the above can range from single statements to entire libraries.
Personally I would say that obsolete code are methods that are there, but aren't used any more. Like for example deprecated methods/functions. Waste code would I define as code that has as only function to slow the application down.

Is it possible? As it is, it just seems rather large on my webpage currently, and I'd like to shrink it down.
If it makes a difference, I'm using the standard embed code displayed alongside the Gist. In my case, that's <script src="https://gist.github.com/4090046.js"></script>.
Unless you:
change the source of that GitHub js script (and store it on your website)
want to do any other kind of modification (like shrink that GitHub Javascript yourself, and call that shrink-ed version), with services like packer,
you won't be able to get a shorter js script from GitHub itself.

I'm looking for details about how linkedIn manages "Search Skills & Expertise". Somebody knows how tags comparison could work? On what algorithms developers could have based the tag comparing system? Something like a "binary independent model" - like? Every supposition or infos are welcome. I'm trying to think about a system that relates tag like linkedIn "Search Skills & Expertise", so I would start with some good incipit, studying some web information retrieval material and asking to someone who knows more than me about this argument.
Thank you.
Have you asked LinkedIn?
Also they recently released IndexTank as open source sorftware and this is the engine they use for searching and indexing and i suspect that would give you information as you can dow=nload and run it yourself.

Does anyone know of a site, newsgroup, message board, etc. where I can submit some of my Scala code to have it "reviewed" by experienced Scala developers? The code works and whatnot, but I'd really like to learn to be more idiomatic when coding Scala, and often I find myself reverting to more imperative like development because I can't find a "better way."
Try on Code Review
My advice is to upload your project to github - make sure to add copyright and licensing information. Then post the one or two relevant short snippets on Code Review and link to your project on github.
Note that there are plenty of questions here on stackoverflow where users have asked to turn something that is imperative to something more functional or idiomatic. The key is to break down your problems into distinct issues you're trying to solve then take the one that has the most chance to get an answer and ask a question about it. If you can make it self contained then that really good. See https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=relevance&q=%5bscala%5d%20%20idiomatic for some ideas...

I am looking for a VERY simple method to allow for computer illiterate people to set up emailers and be able to send them on to others.
Basically, our client is a franchise chain of about 44 and mostly consisting of stay at home mom's. They would all like to keep in contact with one another via an email campaign of sorts but this needs to be super simple for them.
Here's what we know about them:
The would like to add photos but know nothing about image cropping/resizing or manipulation.
They would need it in the form of an .oft template so that they can just copy and paste.
These are the biggest hurdles. My suggestion to them would be this:
Set up an .oft template which they can open from Outlook and start editing.
Find an online tool where they can upload their images and it spits out the correct sizes for them
Does anyone have another idea of something similar please? As far as I am aware, only Outlook 2003 runs .oft templates still?
Many thanks!
