bobr_babizon posted an article, a machine translation of a Kinetic Segment Tree post in my Korean blog. Given this interest in my small Korean blog, I felt obliged to introduce it.
In most of my undergrad period, I was sponsored by the generous Samsung Software Membership, where one of their remarkable features was to fund "individual research projects" — In short, each month, I write an article on interesting stuff, and they will pay me 500,000 KRW per article. Amazing, as it motivates me to learn new stuff and also get paid.
Here is the full list of posts written by that initiative.
Not all posts are good. Sometimes, I need to keep up with the deadline and rush the post; sometimes, I write stuff in specific interest; sometimes, the topic is too hard and I only obtain a superficial understanding. But there are some posts, which I think are the best posts on their subject matter for CF audience if translated into English:
- Nine ways to optimize dynamic programming (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4)
- Push-Relabel Algorithm (1/2, 2/2)
- Solving CP problems on tree decompositions
- Segment Tree Beats and Kinetic Segment Tree
- Introduction to APSP Conjecture and BMM Conjecture
- Solutions to some recent IOI problems (for which there were no published editorials)
Sometimes I actually posted them in English:
- Story about edge coloring of graph
- On Range LIS Queries (1/2, 2/2)
Why are all these posts in Korean? It's because the sponsor wanted such a way — otherwise, I'd actually write all of them in English. So that's pretty sad, and I don't think I will ever try to translate them, but I hope someone would still find them helpful.
How much do I have to pay you to write a top tree tutorial?
What is the target audience of your blog? red? orange?
even sample problem provided to explain concepts begin with Div1.E
I just feel dumb actually
I never tried to write about things I know well since I'd end up learning little and there's not much point for effort. (This is also a good reason why I don't write the top tree tutorial requested by xiaowuc1.) So, yeah, most of the topics were something that I was not aware of at the time of writing.
Do you have clinical depression or are you just a troll? At this point I cannot tell.
And speaking of blogs, when I started using CF, I also looked at CF blogs with half of the page having math symbols I do not comprehend and having pre-pre-pre-requisites that I did not know. 1.5 years later I was reading blogs like this. The difference is I took inspiration from people better than me and blogs I do not understand rather than being dejected.
i have a clinical depression please help
When writing blog on solving world hunger?
The DP series are the best blog posts I've read imho. :blobbow:
