The Go Playground is heavily sandboxed, but that doesn't mean that there are no sources of randomness.

Generics in Go could very well solve the error handling 'problem' all on their own.

Russ Cox asked for specific reports on instances where problems came up in Go development. Unfortunately, I can't think of any obvious ones off the top of my head, but I can think of general problems that I've had with Go interfaces, so I've reported that instead. In detail. Lots of detail.

A short guide on moving directories to another hard drive. That's about it, quite frankly.
