Possibly stupid question, in general: why don't these papers have any dates? how do I know when it was published and whether it is up-to-date / still relevant?

I agree they should shave that information.

The nice part is that this information is standardized through the digital object identifier (doi).

Ex: 10.14778/3611479.3611527

This doi takes you to:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.14778/3611479.3611527

In general if you have a DOI and you want a URL you can go to https://dx.doi.org/ to resolve it.

doi is indeed very nice

one can even make a get_pdf_by_doi() by employing curl and sci-hub

you got the idea

   get_pdf_by_doi(){ wget --recursive --span-hosts --no-directories --accept '*.pdf' --quiet --execute robots=off https://sci-hub.tw/${1} ;}
