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

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)

[Solved] The `SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate`-Error on Ruby for Windows

The Issue

When you try to install (or update) a Ruby gem from your Windows command line and get an error like, for example, the following:

> gem install compass
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'compass' (>= 0), here is why:
        Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

Client-side SSL

For excessively paranoid client authentication.

Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.
