Um_nik's blog

By Um_nik, history, 12 months ago, In English

Just a reminder that Um still exists and I just posted Episode 9. And it is just 0:54 long, no reason not to watch. Magic words to attract attention: Um_nik does binary search, $$$O(\log N)$$$ per query online solution to Stamp Rally.

I switched to the "1 video every 2 days" schedule, it seems manageable.

The list now contains 15 problems. Also, there are slides for the problems for which videos are already posted.

Is the title intentionally a BoJack Horseman reference, and is this secretly a pro tip that everyone should go watch it?

    The title is intentionally a BoJack Horseman reference. Don't think it's a pro tip, unlike listening to Twice, there is no significant increase in cp skill after watching BoJack Horseman. But yes, everyone should go watch it. Obviously.

      I dislike Twice. Does that hinder my chances of improving?

          I think the rest are all fine (Most music sounds fine to me anyway so I just prefer my local music). From Korean groups, I only have some songs from Blackpink in my playlist because they are very catchy.

I thought the video was 0:54 long but it turned out to be 0:54 long :( Um_nik tricked me well.

To sum it up, stop learning useless algorithms, go and solve some problems, learn how to use binary search.
