I so wish!
Tomorrow evening we are entertaining my brother [the one with the brain rot] and his family.
Christmas will be at my parents, Ma has just had another chunk out of her leg [thank you skin rot] and the Da can burn cornflakes so I'll be cooking lunch for them and my brother [without brain rot who doesn't talk to the one with brain rot] with his two sons.
So all in all, I am only preparing meals for 18 people.

One of the systems I work on has a [DateLookup] table, but we are smart enough to have records until at least 2020 in it...
|
|
|
|

I've been using code to calculate UK public holidays for over ten years now.
Every system, everywhere I have worked, that was not created by me has a lookup table of the holidays, and at some point each and every one of them has failed to work properly because it has run out of data and taken time for someone to notice.
Although my code (not really my code, I borrowed it initially) did fail in Easter 2013 when it attempted to set Easter Monday as the 32nd of March. In 2018 it would have attempted to set Good Friday to -1st of April if the bug had not been fixed.

I inherited a system like that. I rewrote it to generate public holidays for multiple countries in perpetuity. Unfortunately, it became a company mandated product used globally. Why was that unfortunate? Because they implemented a forked version that predated my mods and still required manual annual table updates. When I left the company in 2013, it was still waiting the manual updates for 2004!
P.S. I know that this is not a coding forum, but I have a nice algorithm for Easter that I have used since the mid 1970s. The version below was transpiled to JS in the late 1990s and is still in use today. Do not repost this to the Weird and Wonderful (aka Hall of Shame) forum - the unmeaningful variable names are from the original unoptimised version that I plagiarised based it on.
if (! Date.prototype.Easter)
{
Date.prototype.Easter =
function()
{
var year = this.getFullYear();
var a = year % 19;
var b = Math.floor(year / 100);
var c = year % 100;
var d = Math.floor(b / 4);
var h = (19 * a + b - d - Math.floor((8 * b + 13) / 25) + 15) % 30;
var mu = Math.floor((a + 11 * h) / 319) - h;
var lambda = (2 * (b - d * 4) + Math.floor(c / 4) * 6 - c + mu + 32) % 7 - mu;
var month = Math.floor((lambda + 90) / 25);
return new Date(year, month - 1, (lambda + month + 19) % 32);
};
Date.Easter = function(optYear) { return (new Date(optYear)).Easter(); };
}

Yeah and of course the only right way is their way.

Data Entry/Maintenance Form.
Cancel/Close Button, Save Button.
When form is dirty, Button reads Cancel, and action is to clear the form back to its initial state & make it 'clean'.
When form is clean, Button reads Close, and action is to close the form.
Question:
When form is Dirty, and Cancel invoked, should the user be warned about losing changes, or should the form just be cleared?
While I actively elicit your input, arguments etc. I'd be especially interested in any standards/studies that you may be aware of.
FWIW My 2c would be that they should be warned as they are about to lose data - and use of this to abort entry would be in the minority, so inconvenience is minimal.

I suppose this has to do with how much typing effort the person has to put in to fill out the form.
If it's mostly drop-downs and there's no heavy typing, then it would be OK to just clear the changes without a warning.
However if there's lots of typing involved, then use a warning.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
