Of software, used to emphasise 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."
