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. Nevertheless, 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.
