The Doom 3 source code, also formally referred to as the id Tech 4 source code, was released under the GPLv3 license by id Software on November 22, 2011, roughly seven years after the game's release.
Until late 2011, the id Tech team focused on Rage, and after finishing the game, began preparation of the Doom 3 source code for release. The preparations included John Carmack adding four new lines of code and editing another two to replace the so-called "Carmack's Reverse" algorithm for stencil shadow rendering, thus preventing infringement on a patent held by Creative Technologies. After this issue was settled, the source was released via GitHub on November 22 by Timothee Besset.
About a year later, it was followed by the release of the Doom 3: BFG Edition source code.

A comparison and conservation assessment of the high-altitude grassland and forest-millipede (Diplopoda) fauna of the South African Drakensberg
The Drakensberg mountains, classified as part of the Afromontane region, form the division between the more low lying coastal plain and the high-lying interior of South Africa, and comprise a relatively homogenous and continuous grassland matrix, with small, isolated forest patches. The millipede fauna of the region, particularly in grassland, was previously neglected, and existing data provided no basis for making conservation decisions in this global hotspot of biodiversity. We carried out a quantified survey of the region in order to identify the millipede fauna and its distribution in forest and grassland. We measured levels of endemism and beta diversity, and then made recommendations for conservation. We collected 1184 specimens representing 51 species. The 28 species recorded in the forest were predominantly Polydesmida, mainly Dalodesmidae, and also from two orders unique to forest, the Siphonophorida and Nematozoniida. The 23 grassland species were dominated by Spirostreptida, but some Polydesmida were also recorded. No orders, families or genera were unique to grassland. The Sphaerotheriidae were represented in both habitats, but by different species. Only four species were recorded from both biomes. Each biome was characterised by a distinct fauna, of almost equal richness, but with a different composition (ßsim value for grassland and forest = 0.8). Overall, 85 % of species sampled have only been recorded from the Drakensberg region, with a similar level of endemism in both grassland (78 %) and forest (79 %), although the forests had more site endemics (64 %), i.e. restricted to one region. This high level of narrow endemism resulted in high levels of beta diversity especially in grassland (ßsim for most pairs of regions = 1) but also in forest (ßsim between 0 and 0.7). Adjacent forest regions were not always the most similar. These trends may be attributed to past climate change and the distribution of forest, but the data must be accepted as being incomplete. The conservation implications of the study are that the millipede fauna has high conservation value, and that a large proportion of the Drakensberg area, for both grassland and forest, will need to be protected in order to conserve the millipede fauna.

Abdelkader Salhi (born 1967), known as The 10 Killer, is a suspected German serial killer who murdered at least three prostitutes in Spain between August and September 2011. He is currently awaiting sentencing.

Early life and move to Spain
A native of Wiesbaden, Germany, Salhi was born to a Moroccan father and a German mother. He developed a deep disgust towards prostitutes from a young age, since his father's extramarital activities resulted in the separation of his parents. In 1988, while trying to rob a woman, Salhi killed her, which landed him an 18 year prison sentence.

After his release, Salhi illegally moved to Spain in 2007 under another identity, settling in a residence at Fontana Beach, Riviera del Sol. According to his Moroccan girlfriend, Sara Er Rezyni, he was constantly jealous when it came to his privacy and constantly avoided contradicting himself. He also held four forged passports (including Irish, French and Italian) and spoke four languages.

Murders
According to investigating authorities, Salhi contacted his victims through telephone after seeing their adverts in a local English-language newspaper. In order to gain their trust, he first visited them several times, having casual sex with them. After killing the women, he would steal their mobile phones, cash and credit cards, with his girlfriend later withdrawing 1,000 euros from the first two victims' bank accounts. Sara's mother was later found out to be in possession of one of the phones.

Unknown woman
Originally from Argentina but with Spanish nationality, the 45-year-old was killed in her rented apartment at the Complejo Alhamar in Calahonda on August 10, 2011. She had been stabbed 17 times, with a pillowcase later being tied around her neck and a pillow put on her head. Her son found her body the following morning.

Brigitte SR
The 49-year-old German prostitute was found dead by police at her Calahonda apartment on September 2, although it was estimated that she had died a week before. At the time of discovery, the corpse was at an advanced stage of decomposition, but police managed to find that Salhi's number was the last one the victim had called before her death.

Maryuri Alice Pérez García
The 47-year-old Ecuadorian-born Pérez was killed at her shared apartment in San Pedro de Alcantara on September 10. She had been stabbed 13 times and then robbed of her phone, credit card and 100 euros. It was noted that in this instance, the killer had taken the knife with him, but after the murder, had cleaned it up before leaving it at a kitchen drawer in Pérez's house.

Arrest and trial
Detectives working on both cases began developing a theory that the murders were committed by the same person, backed up by the fact that the victims were supposedly chosen because they were vulnerable women who received their clients in rented flats. Through examination of phone records, they received another clue to the killer's identity, but the discovery came after 2,000 euros were withdrawn from one of the women's bank accounts.

Authorities later arrested Salhi while he was working out in a local gym under the assumed name of Martin Sparitt. During the subsequent five hour investigation, he confessed to the Costa del Sol murders, providing great detail in both instances. Brigitte SR's case was later connected to the series, and he is currently being investigated for possible other murders around Spain.

Despite the evidence presented, Salhi later recanted his confessions, claiming that the arresting officers had threatened and beaten him into signing the confessions. However, Rezyni admitted during questioning that on the day of one of the murders, she had seen wounds on Abdelkader. Currently, his trial continues, and if convicted, Salhi could face up to 63 years imprisonment.

Q: SSS for normed plane It is known that if in $(R^2,\|\cdot\|_2)$ is given two triangles with vertices $A,B,C$ and $D,E,F$ such that $\|A-B\|_2=\|D-E\|_2$, $\|B-C\|_2=\|E-F\|_2$ and $\|A-C\|_2=\|D-F\|_2$ then by Heron's formula it follows that $S_{ABC}=S_{DEF}$, where $S_{XYZ}$ area of triangle $XYZ$ and $\|\cdot\|_2$ usual euclid norm. What would be if we instead of $\|\cdot\|_2$ consider any norm $\|\cdot\|$? In other words, let $A,B,C$ and $D,E,F$ respectively vertices of two triangles in $(R^2,\|\cdot\|)$, such that $\|A-B\|=\|D-E\|$, $\|B-C\|=\|E-F\|$ and $\|A-C\|=\|D-F\|$.
Is it true that $S_{ABC}=S_{DEF}$, where $S_{XYZ}$ is "usual" area of the triangle with vertices $X,Y,Z$?

A: It seems to be satisfied, if $\|\cdot\|$ is generated by an inner product. To give an example, let $T \in \mathbb R^{2 \times 2}$ be invertible. We use the norm
$$\|x\|^2 = x^\top T^\top T \, x.$$
Then, if your triangles $(A, B, C)$ and $(D, E, F)$ satisfy your condition w.r.t. $\|\cdot\|$, it is easy to see that $(TA, TB, TC)$ and $(TD, TE, TF)$ satisfy the condition w.r.t. $\|\cdot\|_2$. Hence, the transformed triangles have equal areas, since the transformation $T$ scales area by $\det(T)$.
In other norms, it might be violated. For example, you can use
$$A = D = (0,0), B = (1/2, 1/2), C = (0,1), E = (1/4,3/4), F = (3/4, 1/4),$$
with the $1$-norm. All sides have length one, one triangle has area $1/4$ and the other one has $1/2$.

Local language content platform Dailyhunt has raised $25 million (Rs 168 crore) in a new round of funding led by China's Bytedance, itself a content aggregator in China, which is backed by investors like Russian billionaire Yuri Miliner's DST Global and social media major Sina Weibo.
The Bengaluru-based company has also raised capital from Arun Sarin, former global CEO of Vodafone Group besides existing backers like Matrix Partners India, Sequoia Capital India and Omidyar Network.
While valuation for the new round could not be ascertained, the deal has been done "at a premium" to its previous round valuation of Rs 1,700-1,800 crore, according to company executives. Avendus Capital was the advisor on the transaction.
Content aggregators like Dailyhunt, which provides news and ebooks in vernacular languages, are expected to benefit from the 4G tariff wars with the entry of Reliance Jio. The company recently invested in OneIndia to generate multimedia content, especially short format video and audio, for its users. DailyHunt already receives a tenth of its monthly active users from Jio.
"With the current stimulus in the data market overall users coming to internet are increasing resulting in more consumption," said Virendra Gupta, founder & CEO of Dailyhunt.
The Bengaluru-based company has an annual revenue rate of over Rs 100 crore and aims to go over Rs 1,500 crore in the next four years, by capturing 6-7% of the $4 billion digital advertising market. Besides advertising on the platform, it also earns revenue by selling ebooks and payments.
Dailyhunt has already built a sizable user base with over 120 million mobile application downloads and 28 million monthly active users who read 4.5 billion pages. In the next four years, it expects monthly active users on the platform to increase to 150-200 million.
As the Indian internet user base expands to 300-400 million, social media and content consumption are increasingly becoming the first use cases for many of them, a market which Dailyhunt targets. The advantage company has is that not many platforms are focusing on vernacular language users.
"Rural consumers spend about 40% of their total media time on digital media- the same as urban consumers-although they have different reasons…….ability to tap into the latest media content at low cost, receive constant updates and gain access to vernacular and geographically diverse classified content," said a recent Boston Consulting Group report.
With the investment, Bytedance founder & CEO Zhang Yiming will join the Dailyhunt board. "Dailyhunt is serving a huge unmet need of providing local language content to Indian mobile users and has grown with its localized approach ad-business model," Yiming said in a statement.
Bytedance has 140 million monthly active users across its portal Jinri Toutiao in China and TopBuzz in US and Brazil. According to reports, it was valued over $500 million in 2014 and is pegged as the next multi-billion dollar valuation startup after cab hailing app Didi Chuxing and group deals site Meituan.
Bringing Bytedance on board is expected to help Dailyhunt with experience of how to expand the business. Both also count Sequoia Capital as a common investor.
