is it worth learning golang? - sh.itjust.works

I am a senior java developer in the cloud/distributed arch/ microservice area. I’ve touched on golang in the past, but not learnt it in any formal/extensive way. I see it cropping up in many java/microservice positions, and I’m curious if this is at some point going to overtake java in my area. The current benchmarks seem to suggest that if autoscaling is key to your services, golang is the way to, well, go. I looked at the job market and it doesn’t yet seem to have taken over, but I’m curious how this is likely to play out over the next decade and if quakus for example is likely to become more competitive against golang. Interestingly, golang specific roles on average pay less than java ones in my area. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any good articles / content on the subject.

Improving from first to second batch

Improving from first to second batch - sh.itjust.works

The one on the left is my first batch, the right my second (just bottled). I’m very happy with the colour improvement and the sample tastes were better too. Fingers crossed I’ll have a much less bitter batch. My changes to the first run were blocking any outdoor lights (newspaper over window -my wife loved it) and keeping it in a water bath to regulate temperature until sampling time. In the next batch, or the one after, I should have an under counter fridge to keep it in so this’ll help even more.

Reusing plastic lids/caps

Reusing plastic lids/caps - sh.itjust.works

I have these bottles which I’ve already used once. My question is if the lids/caps should be refused with beer? I’m concerned that the seal may not be strong enough without the anti-tampering loop attached (as they break when opened). Thanks for any help!

Adding flavours to extract.

Adding flavours to extract. - sh.itjust.works

Hello Brewers! I am still a noob to this, but I want to brew my wife something that she’d like. I don’t yet have the equipment to do an all grain, and I am reliant on extracts. I was wondering if anyone has experimented with adding flavour ingredients, like cherry for example, to an extract? If so, when and what have you added? And is this going to be an expensive process of trial and error?

Personally I’d like it if ministers showed some backbone.

> Ministers hope this announcement is a reasonable basis for carrying on with negotiations over a trade deal that could lead to them falling or being dropped entirely.

First ever homebrew! - sh.itjust.works

Came out not bad. But the starting temperature was a little high and it has a slight tangy flavour. I’m trying to find a way to better control the fermentation temperature on the cheap. Any tips appreciated! One question I do have… After leaving in the bottles for a couple of weeks I’ve noticed a white residue is settling on the bottom of the bottle. Is this normal? (Pic of sediment in comments)

Where can I get thrown away stuff?

Where can I get thrown away stuff? - sh.itjust.works

Not really sure what the word is of what I’m looking for but… I’m after chest freezer. It doesn’t need to be working as I only need the shell. I was thinking that I may be able to go to a recycling site and ask the staff there or something like that? I’m not sure if this is really a thing but I’ve definitely heard of people finding things that people have thrown away etc. Do I just need to drive around my city looking for fly tipping/skips?
