 ;Change to the header text - is it related to the comic?
 I have updated the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#Header_text|header text]] section on the [[Design of xkcd.com]] page with the [[Design_of_xkcd.com#2019-04-23|new header text]] out with this comic. I can see that in the "loong" explanation someone has mentioned Google Reader already, probably because of this. So I have also added a link to this change to the explanation. How relevant is Google reader for this comic, and is that actually a reason to expect the comic is about computer programming and not inventions...

 :well, hardness is not necessarily the factor to look for. A very hard wheel would mean you would feel each and every of the smallest bump in the road (or would need a suspension that can handle them. Suspensions usually are more for the medium sized bumps). Also hardness often means brittleness. Imagine building a wheel of marble for your car. it wouldn't dent, but break as soon as there is a major hit on it... --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 08:20, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
