I've always wondered about this turn of phrase. I seldom
eat a cake at one sitting.
You need to recursively subdivide the cake until
you have a piece small enough to fit in your input
buffer. Then the atomicity of the cake-ingestion
operation will become apparent.
Ok course according to Tarski we can cut the cake up so it increases in volume.
The slices have to be immeasurable, but the final volume can be almost anything.
I bet that makes cake buffering harder to plan for.
