Fix Mongodb "soft rlimits" Warning On Mac OS X (Yosemite)

If you are seeing Mongo soft rlimits warnings in your logs, or a WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000 when you login to mongo shell via mongo from the commandline, or any mysterious/unexplained mongo connection errors... follow this how-to exactly and it will resolve the issue for you.

This is my recommended path for learning Haskell.

Something to keep in mind: don't sweat the stuff you don't understand immediately. Just keep moving.

Primary course

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/lectures.html Brent Yorgey's course is the best I've found so far and replaces both Yann Esposito's HF&H and the NICTA course. This course is particularly valuable as it will not only equip you to write Haskell but also help you understand parser combinators.

Exercises for practice

I like Learn You a Haskell as a reference and cheat-sheet but I found it a little slow for learning Haskell.

Here's my recommended order for just learning Haskell:

Real World Haskell is available online. (Thanks bos!)

I recommend RWH as a reference (thick book). The chapters for parsing and monads are great for getting a sense for where monads are useful. Other people have said that they've liked it a lot. Perhaps a good follow-up for practical idioms after you've got the essentials of Haskell down?
