How to Change Open Files Limit on OS X and macOS

This text is the section about OS X Yosemite (which also works for macOS Sierra) from https://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/open-files-limit/#mac-os-x

The last time i visited this link it was dead (403), so I cloned it here from the latest snapshot in Archive.org's Wayback Machine https://web.archive.org/web/20170523131633/https://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/open-files-limit/

Mac OS X

To check the current limits on your Mac OS X system, run:

chmurph2

@tl;dr
5.3 months // how often 3 sparkling water drinkers will go through a 20 lbs CO2 tank
$90 // SodaStream
$29 // 20 lbs tank refill every 6 months, at Robert's Oxygen in Dulles, VA
$201 // initial investment in tank, refill attachments/adapter, first CO2 fill
5.4 months // time to recoup initial equipment investment (sans SodaStream)

@initial equipment costs (excluding SodaStream, which we got as a gift)
diy_tank_20lbs = $115 + $21.34 shipping // 20 lb CO2 tank
adapter_kit = $30 // kit to attach tank to sodastream bottle to refill (tubes, connectors, valves)

    // Selected DEVONthink Sheet -> DEVONthink markdown record (MMD table)
    // (New record containing MMD table created is same group as selection)
    // Uses original fileName stem, with '.md' appended.

    // This is the *whitespace pretty-printed* version

Clean Install High Sierra on APFS-formatted main HD

Installation Steps

1. From 10.11 or 10.12 systems, format an external hard drive with at least 500gb with "Mac Os Extended Journaled".
2. Download High Sierra Beta and install it in the external hard drive.
3. When the system reboots and finishes installation, it will boot from the external HD. Go to Preferences and change Startup Disk to be main HD.
4. Reboot and press Option key when the computer makes a beep and select external HD to boot from it.
5. Once booted again into external HD, format main HD to be APFS.
