To remove the first element from a slice in Go without preserving order and in constant time, you can replace the first element with the last one, and then truncate the slice by one element:
slice[0] = slice[len(slice)-1]
slice = slice[:len(slice)-1]
Thus, the operation is performed in O(1), but the order of elements in the slice is disturbed.
