Honestly, this was the comment that exposed me (regular office rube) to binary search as a concept and it is so. fucking. helpful.

In what ways do you use it in your daily life? Genuinely curious.

not the commenter you asked but i use a binary search when i'm playing a modded game that is having issues to pinpoint which mod(s) cause the issue. beats launching the game over and over to test each mod by a long shot.

a recent example: i put together a mod list for risk of rain 2 to play with some friends, but the game crashed on launch when all the mods were installed. so i disabled half the mods (in order, alphabetically or other) and tried to launch the game again - still crashing. disabled half the remaining enabled mods, test, repeated as necessary. with only a few cycles of booting the game, i was able to determine the specific mod causing a crash on startup out of my list of 50 something mods.

While that's really cool and useful, it might be the way a couple of mods interact as opposed to a specific one.

Sure, but it'll still narrow down on one of those mods - perfect information would require figuring out why it crashes in the first place, but finding at least one of them would let you play the game without it and look up if anybody else reported problems with that mod.
