This week I learned that you can assign object properties to String variables in JavaScript! Eg, instead of doing "object.name = name" you can do
"let var = 'name';
object[var] = name"
and it'll result in the same thing! Obviously this example is kind of useless but I used this information to basically make an easier-to-assign-to map out of an object with user-defined file names as keys!

I started looking in to managing the auth state in a personal project of mine. It's built with Vue 2 + Vuex + Firebase. Last night I started working on keeping the user logged in which involved setting up some initial check using firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged() and setting some state in Vuex. It's buggy as hell right now, but that's cool, I'll get it working.

My voice is getting very strained from all the recording, so I've been playing around with synthetic text to speech ML models. WaveNet is really good but no matter what you use, they just don't have personality. I wish there was an app that would let you paint your vocal personality like inflection, word stretching and etc.
