Yeah this is basically interpolation search

Oh, that's what the article was referring to with "interpolation".

Weird that I didn't hear about it before, it's not that used in practice?

One reason I could see is that binary search is fast enough and easy to implement. Even on largest datasets it's still just a few tens of loop iterations.
