Gamer 2012-2013 Survey

survey_128x128.png

Hello people out there in web-world.

The New Year has arrived and PawByte and SuperLongName.com are conducting a quick survey among gamers about the gaming industry. The survey shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes and it's results will be published for free for all to see. My hope is that game developers, publishers and inventors will take the results of this survey and take another lens as to what gamers do, want and think.

If you have time and will like to contribute to the glorious gaming industry you can find the Survey here.

Thank you for your time.

Yours truly,

-Nathan

*So far about 150 results*

I submitted.. Though I had to change an answer, because I make games in my free time (so kind of a developer), but when you select that it's assumed you do it as a full time job.

Completed as a 'Gamer' :)

EDIT:

As for the question that implies you're a full-time Developer? That'll be the 'Are you a Developer?' question near the end. If you offer multiple choice such as:

A 'Yes, Full-Time.'

B 'Yes, in my spare time.'

C 'No, but aspire to be.'

D 'No.'

It may help those that fall between the cracks - not to mention it will help to diversify the findings of your research, rather than miss out all the 'aspiring developers' or developers that simply do it as a hobby.

@Anarkii and @TheLegendOfMart

LOL, I took two courses on survey and statistics thought I should apply them.

Coagulated

You made a good point, should I add a new question to distinguish between the two? Plese note, our goal is 500 and we've already reached over 275. That means that the last 200 or so would actually reply to that question...

The results are up.

Right before Christmas season is fully into full fledged.

 

So sorry for the late processing of this survey. Life was quite busy. Please read the blog post entry as well as the ReadMe File. I hope the Summary and Raw Data is of use to you.

Can I suggest putting the results of the survey on that webpage as a html page or pdf?
Having to go offsite to download a zip file with the results seems dodgy and very unprofessional.

I can edit the order of where the links are placed, as we are hosting mirror 2, ourselves. I just wanted to be cheap on bandwidth and kinda hint they should download from box.net. 

 

Also, I can add a plain ole' .pdf option, but the .zip is the full package with the raw data!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
