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.

Not at all - we just apply the same division techniques to the buffer
space until we can map the pieces of cake one-to-one onto the buffers.
