Heineman shared the message last night that her health was rapidly declining.
"It's time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless," Heineman wrote.
"So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays."
Game developers have begun sharing their own condolences and remembrances in the wake of Heineman's death

Attached: 1 image We built local backdoors for Signal, 1Password & Slack through V8 heap snapshot tampering (CVE-2025-55305). Method: Replace v8_context_snapshot.bin files with versions that override JavaScript builtins. When apps call Array.isArray(), malicious code executes. Works because integrity checks ignore these "non-executable" files that actually contain executable JavaScript. Impact: Nearly every Chromium-based app is vulnerable. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/09/03/subverting-…

Characterization of Gradient Index Fibers
Gradient index (GRIN) fibers are used to improve the design of many fiber optic devices. However, the properties of the GRIN fiber must be determined to optimally engineer a device which incorporates GRIN fiber components. The index of refraction of most GRIN fibers varies quadratically in the radial direction, where the quadratic coefficient is characterized by the gradient index constant $g$. We measured $g$ for Thorlabs GIF50C GRIN fiber at both $780~\mathrm{nm}$ and $1550~\mathrm{nm}$ using…
