The only thing I haven't tried is pushing it into the trash bin.

 

[jonKranked]

how do you guys generally address capacity issues?

delete everything start over

 

[KenW449]

delete everything start over

Start with Win32

 

[SkaredShtles]

delete everything start over

In the case of my current gig... this probably would be a good way to address it.

 

[6thElement]

I'm constantly telling the mgmt/directorships that we're out of capacity. Storage, compute, you name it - if it's capacity, we're out of it.

@6thElement - how do you guys generally address capacity issues?

The level of asshattery that I deal with would make you question your career choice on an hourly basis. Systems are generally specced for a ~5 year cycle with constant growth during that time so there generally aren't too many capacity surprises for my industry.

So are they purchased with the capacity at the outset? i.e. you buy storage infrastructure with current+5y growth in mind? Or do you just plan on purchasing *as* you grow to address capacity? Capacity-on-demand type decisions?

Here it *appears* that they buy with 5y lifespan in mind, but ONLY for current capacity without any budget/plan whatsoever for growth. Despite the fact that everyone KNOWS that growth is going to happen...

This wind is brutal! On the upside, I’m at the train station, homeward-bound. Shuttle on campus, two short train hops, a bus, and a 10 min walk: transit isn’t simple.

That sounds exactly how they plan and build roads around here.

 

[StiHacka]

Focking windy out there.

Fucking work...

It's not just computers from my vantage point.

 

[mandown]

It's not just computers from my vantage point.

I have to work overtime just so I can be here long enough to hate everyone, and that’s not even allowing enough time for proper hatred.

Procured with the capacity to meet the needs of the 5 years. Probably very static compared to what you work with system wise.

The thing that drives me crazy is that growth is pretty easy to demonstrate... you know, with *data* - and yet, decisions continue to be made that appear to completely ignore the data.

It's like a simple graph like this is indecipherable to those with the hands on the money-sack:

Sounds like someone downstream is paid not for increasing revenues but by eliminating costs?

Of course it's indecipherable, there are no label or units for the Y-axis.

[jonKranked]

gonna need a beer run.

parsecs.
I've decided always parsecs for the unit of measurement if not otherwise stated.
Unless @Westy wants to measure temperature, then it's Rankine's.

 

[canadmos]

Beers feel like they are a parsec away right now.

 

[Jozz]

Friday Fat ride in the books. Beer time it is

 

[StiHacka]

Shit my boss just made my blood boil. Gotta love managers who are too weak to resist illogical requests from others and instead, channel them directly on you.

 

[jstuhlman]

got wore the eff out on a 27 mile ride in the mountains. not even all that much climbing but dang, i’m apparently not in the best of shape. pic at the start of raiders (for nc monkeys who know) where the “no bikes” sticker has “mysteriously” been replaced by a bikes allowed sticker. 60* and sunny. other than lots of downfall that needs to be cleared, excellent conditions. beers afterwards, of course.

Ee to the kay tee dollars?

 

[jstuhlman]

Nice bikes.

dude on the giant tore it the eff up on some rugged trails on that xc rig. he’s also like half my age, which may explain why i am le tired.

in other news, it appears that i have somehow eaten an entire quart of guacamole

 

[6thElement]

~25mph wind = no riding, other than the DJ up and down the road messing about.

 

[SkaredShtles]

dude on the giant tore it the eff up on some rugged trails on that xc rig.

Is that an Anthem?

 

[jstuhlman]

yeah...110/130

 

[canadmos]

Bike parts in hand. Beer in hand.

Found some honey crisp apple cider at the store. Fucking delicious.

This is why you're fat

 

[canadmos]

This is why you're fat

I question that.

Eating a quart of guacamole will result in tree fiddy quarts of poo. Maybe that's the secret to weight loss..

 

[jstuhlman]

This is why you're fat

probably also beer
