This article about how to go from manual processes to automation is still one of the greatest ACM publications ever written:

		It's so great that I've shared it with every Trade Desk, DevOps, SRE and Infra team I've ever worked with.

So this link is interesting for a different reason: look at the references at the end of the paper. It's awesome that the references include URLs. IMHO, old papers should all be updated to include such hyperlinks.

I'm pleased that the references to other ACM papers do work.

But try to click on this one:

Bainbridge, L. 1983. Ironies of automation. Automatica 19(6): 775-779;

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0713/bb9d9b138e4e0a15406006...

Fail! No way to read the paper without paying or pirating by using scihub (and even if you do get the .pdf via scihub, its references are not hyperlinks). This does not help humanity, it makes us look like morons. FFS, even the music industry was able to figure this out.

		I'm not blaming you. By providing links, your citations go beyond what is required for academic papers. Would it be rude to print the link "https://doi.org/10.1016/0005-1098(83)90046-8" but actually link to https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/0005-1098(83)90046-8 when you click it? :-) The DOI is key, then you can use a browser extension to do it, for example: https://github.com/natir/Redirector_doi_sci-hub
