The Hyundai Ioniq is not being produced anymore, but its spirit lives on in the new Ioniq 6. In this post I compare the specifications of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Specifically, the 2020 Ioniq Electric and the 2023 Ioniq 6 Long Range 2WD. The data for each vehicle comes mostly from evdb. This post is basically just me discussing with myself how badly I want an Ioniq 6 over my current Ioniq Electric, but I figured I might as well share my findings.
Som medlem af Coop kan man få skræddersyede personlige tilbud på dagligvarer. De tilbydes i Coop-appen og skal aktiveres før de træder i kraft, og gælder i en begrænset periode for et begrænset antal varer. Jeg har prøvet funktionen, og Coop holder ikke helt hvad de lover, selvom jeg da sparede nogle penge.
As a kid back in the 1990s I was spellbound by the Star Wars movies. I didn’t fully grasp the story, but everything was so cool: Spaceships, droids, aliens, and lasers! So cool! I had Star Wars toys, and I recorded the movies from TV, to watch again and again in all their blurry VHS glory. Now we have high-definition streaming, from which I’ve spent the past week watching the “Star Wars: Andor” series’ first season, and it has blown my now grown-up mind.
I created a Tesla account to be able to charge my (non-Tesla) car at Tesla charging stations. When I tried to charge at a Supercharger, I had to add my credit card info, but then the Tesla app also wanted a billing address. The only problem was that the country selector was locked to the United States, where I don’t live.
The Stack Overflow blog recently published the article Minimizing the downsides of dynamic programming languages (such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP) from which I’ll point out:
“Type hints are the most obvious way to make a dynamic language more static. In effect, you get the best of both worlds: you can write dynamic code but are required to be more careful about what types you expect to get and use at any point.”
“Dictionaries are for unknown data.” In other words, if you know while writing the code which keys are going to be in your dictionary at runtime, you should use an interface (TypeScript), struct (Ruby), or dataclass (Python), instead of a plain dictionary/object.
This reminded me that if you’re a Python programmer, you should definitely know about dataclasses (since Python 3.7, 2018) because they do both of the above, as fields of the dataclass are specified using type annotation syntax.
I’ve used the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II for almost a month and the Jabra Elite 85t earbuds for 4–5 months. Both are flagship products, with the Boses being released a few months ago, and the Jabras two years ago. This means that by now, the Jabras only cost around half as much as the Boses. That doesn’t make the Boses better at everything, however. Depending on what qualities you value, one or the other could be the better pair.
Back in December 2009, I saw the premiere of the movie Avatar, and was completely enraptured by this beautiful fictional blue world. I went to the cinema to watch it multiple times. I studied Na’vi, the language constructed for the movie (which has a real grammar behind its pleasant alien sound). I ordered the movie for pickup at Blockbuster at the midnight DVD release (yes, a physical Blockbuster store!) I just absolutely adored the movie. Fast-forward to the present, and we finally got to watch the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water.
I’ve driven the Hyundai Ioniq Electric for two years now, and it’s time for some more stats. While the car model is not for sale anymore, it will exist on the used car market for many years to come, and I’m going to continue documenting my experiences with it here. Despite being discontinued, the car remains one of the most energy efficient mass market vehicles on the roads today.
Det er en ny æra for offentlig opladning af elbiler i Aalborg. Efter en meget begrænset udvikling i 2021 er der i foråret 2022 åbnet flere nye offentlige ladepladser i Aalborg og Nørresundby. Nu er det næsten altid muligt at finde en ledig offentlig lader, når man skal bruge den. Dermed er det blevet meget nemmere at kombinere elbil med at bo i lejlighed, samt at være plug-in-bils-gæst i Aalborg.
My car supports Android Auto which lets me connect my smartphone and use the phone’s apps on the car’s infotainment system including touchscreen, speakers and microphone. Examples include Google Maps for navigation and Spotify for music, as well as Google Assistant voice commands.
It normally requires a wired USB connection between phone and car, but AAWireless is a device that acts as a wireless bridge between phone and car while the device stays plugged in to the car, so your phone can stay in your pocket or bag. I’m happy so say it works well so far.
