New blog post: "Get Binary Search Right Every Time, Explained Without Code"

It's based on the Binary Search chapter from Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview, with one difference. I have noticed that some readers go straight to the code and sometimes don't fully get the rationale behind it. So, here I explained the concept without any code.
