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:

nstogner

// DeleteThing attempts to delete a thing. It will try a maximum of three times.
func DeleteThing(id string) error {
	// Build the request
	req, err := http.NewRequest(
		"DELETE",
		fmt.Sprintf("https://unreliable-api/things/%s", id),
		nil,
	)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("unable to make request: %s", err)
