Next.js taps Webpack 5 for faster builds

The latest upgrade of Vercel’s Next.js framework for building React web applications speeds up builds and refreshes with expanded use of the Webpack 5 module bundler.

Introduced April 28, Next.js 10.2 uses Webpack 5 to improve disk caching, allowing the compiler to persist work between build runs. Because only changed files will be recompiled, performance of subsequent builds is dramatically improved, by up to 63 percent.

With Next.js 10.2, all applications that do not use a custom webpack configuration in their next config.js will automatically use Webpack 5. Webpack 5 also offers benefits including better fast refresh and improved long-term asset caching. Also, CommonJS now can be tree-shaken to automatically remove unused code.

A nonprofit promised to preserve wildlife. Then it made millions claiming it could cut down trees

The Massachusetts Audubon Society has long managed its land in western Massachusetts as crucial wildlife habitat. Nature lovers flock to these forests to enjoy bird-watching and quiet hikes, with the occasional bobcat or moose sighting. But in 2015, the conservation nonprofit presented California’s top climate regulator with a startling scenario: It could heavily log 9,700 acres of its preserved forests over the next few years. The group raised the possibility of chopping down hundreds of thousands of trees as part of its application to take part in California’s forest offset program. The state’s Air Resources Board established the system to harness the ability of trees to absorb and store carbon to help the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals. The program allows forest owners like Mass Audubon to earn so-called carbon credits for preserving trees. Each credit represents a ton of CO2. California polluters, such as oil companies, buy these credits so that they can emit more CO
