[4] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
happily adv. of software, used to emphasize that a program is unaware
   of some important fact about its environment, either because it has been
   fooled into believing a lie, or because it doesn't care. the sense of
   `happy' here is not that of elation, but rather that of blissful
   ignorance. "the program continues to run, happily unaware that its
   output is going to /dev/null." also used to suggest that a program or
   device would really rather be doing something destructive, and is being
   given an opportunity to do so. "if you enter an o here instead of a
   zero, the program will happily erase all your data." neverheless, use of
   this term implies a basically benign attitude towards the program: it
   didn't mean any harm, it was just eager to do its job. we'd like to be
   angry at it but we shouldn't, we should try to understand it instead.
   the adjective "cheerfully" is often used in exactly the same way.
