Website appears to be missing many JS files

[rw]

The homepage appears to be missing many files required for the rendering of benchmarks.

Example 404s as of December 28, 2019:

https://www.mlpack.org/js/benchmarks/historical-comparison-view.js
https://www.mlpack.org/css/d3-style.css

Related: is there a way to use the benchmark suite without Javascript? Perhaps just show all the results in a big page?

Right, I'm working on a redesign, we could provide an sql dump, if that is something you find helpful.

[rw]

@zoq Ah, okay, well, the site is basically down for the time being :-] Maybe we can put up an archived version?

[rw]

@zoq Also, I tried multiple browsers and settings, trying to get it to work. Maybe a friendly note at the top of the page would be helpful to save people time?

We can easily push the relevant files to the mlpack.org repo so it temporarily works. @zoq what do you think? I could do that pretty quickly.

[zoq]

@rw Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm certain we can update the page in the next days.

@rcurtin if we can put this together quickly, I think that is a good solution.

@zoq done, but I think the db I pushed is pretty out of date. If you have a newer version and want to push that to the repository I'll keep my eyes open for a commit email and then rebuild the site.

It doesn't match the new site and it doesn't look great but it's at least functional until we get something better in place. :)

Thanks for the quick update, let's see if I can find a newer database.

Progress! I see some interactivity now, but no charts. The "parameters" box is unpopulated, and there is a JS error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'values' of undefined
    at Object.rc.orderSelect (runtime-comparison-view.js:222)
    at HTMLSelectElement.onchange (benchmark.html:1)

This is for:
Compare library runtimes for an algorithm/parameter combination
