shouldn't be "tomorrow's historical curiosity"?
- ksec 7y agoSame question. If it is not wrong, could someone please explain?
- Arnavion 7y agoBoth are correct. The article's phrasing is that the code of today is "yesterday's historical curiosity" from the point of view of someone who looks at it tomorrow.
- vemv 7y agoThe article's phrasing doesn't seem that correct: yesterday's historical curiosity is not necessarily today's historical curiosity (today being 3000 AD).
- K0SM0S 7y agoThey probably mean that today will be referred to as 'yesterday' in the future. The sentence structure is ambivalent, though, it would work both ways. I think your interpretation is actually better, I'd have written 'tomorrow' as well too.
